What are perks and other benefits like at Viasat?

Great Benefits, lots of customer service appreciation, opportunities to move up, remote, decent pay, lots of virtual events

Training time wasted and could be better used to prepare for the role that you are going to be doing.

Great work life balance with good benefits

Can’t think of anything particularly

-Culture: Viasat encourages innovation and creativity. People are generally positive, collaborative, very smart/high caliber/competent which creates an enjoyable work environment. Turnover is low- people love working here. -Global teaming: I work with team members from around the world on a daily basis and am constantly learning, challenged, and building a network -Benefits/Flexibility: There is no specific RTO policy and most people are hybrid or remote. Great benefits especially the flexible time off (aka unlimited PTO which is respected and people truly do take time off) -Internal mobility: I have worked at several large organizations and Viasat promotes/encourages internal mobility more than any other organization I have worked for. Managers are not fighting to keep people but rather encouraging them to pursue internal opportunities if it is the right next step for them -Great leaders: In my time here I have found many leaders who have become champions for me and my career, advocating for me and providing opportunities that align with my future goals -There is a lot of work being done internally all centered around employee experience, ensuring compensation and benefits are competitive in the market, transparency from the top, etc- they truly listen to employee feedback

Viasat has been in a period of change as a result of new leadership, an acquisition, and an internal re-org. The change is much needed to grow and achieve a longer term strategy however it has resulted in a lot of internal chaos, layoffs, and uncertainty about the future (especially with such a low stock price/investor confidence). The change has also delayed key initiatives and it can feel like teams operate in silos (i.e. the DEI team seems to operate in a silo which is unfortunate) but I am encouraged by the work going on to make positive changes.

- Lots to learn - Good pension scheme and benefits (40% shift allowance for working hours out of 9-5) - Opportunities within the company to move to other roles.

- A toxic culture is tolerated, particularly from long-serving employees. Senior staff are often allowed to display unprofessional behaviour — including bullying — without consequences, as they are seen as irreplaceable. Management tends to turn a blind eye rather than address these issues. - Excessive working hours with minimal rest. Shifts can last up to 13 hours, yet only 30 minutes are officially allocated for breaks, which is both unsustainable and unhealthy in the long term. - High-stress environment with relentless workloads. Tasks are continuous and often stack up without resolution, creating a sense of never-ending pressure and little to no opportunity to catch up.

The benefits are very good but word is that they're being gutted. Pay is okay.

Layoff happy company who is falling from grace due to CEO betting everything on outdated tech while competition is eating their lunch. Do yourself a favor and stay well away. Work environment varies drastically on project and location. Can be amazing and relaxed for some and a toxic mess for others. Guru was brought in to gut employees to try (and is failing) to gain profitability at the sake of innovation and well being.

The people are passionate, caring, and really down to earth. The benefits are better than most places offer. There is a lot of work, so you stay busy.

The company is poorly managed in the engineering department. There is usually one Project Manager per roughly 5 to 8 software engineering teams, and software engineers can have anywhere from 1 to 3 bosses they report to. Communication is the worst, especially for a Satellite Communications company. The lack of inter-team cooperation and communication causes overlap in releases, undocumented system changes, and costly disruptions that even make the news when they regularly disrupt service for their high-paying customers.

Great benefits and opportunity to enter the manufacturing world.

To many internal politics, unfair wages, poor training, poor management, unpredictable future as a regular employee, and if you not part of the right crew you're career ladder will be short.

Good salaries, benefits, flexible schedules, still can do home office.

Meetings can turn into battlefields, with no respect between coworkers and managers prefer to keep silent.

Good benefits, good work-life balance, flexible for office/remote work.

Many recent and ongoing organizational changes after Inmarsat acquisition. Technical career paths to senior/director+ levels and positions are not well defined.

Work life balance & company culture is ideal and hard to beat.

Compensation was not very competitive due to benefits and work life balance.
