Hi...thanks for taking a moment to write a review. It's great to hear that you're enjoying so much of the ViaSat experience! In terms of "no career paths," we don't create/communicate formalized career paths for employees because we want employees to have the flexibility to change paths and not feel locked into a particular direction. We also want employees to feel like they're in the driver's seat when it comes to their careers. With that said, if you would like to discuss a career path or get a little assistance in developing a plan to move in a particular direction, I want to strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner. For anyone who wants a more structured approach they are available to help!

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
