What is working from home like at Viasat?

Great benefits, work from home

Gone through 3 acquisitions. Every 12 to 18 months they change direction. Not customer focused. Management has no field experience.

Flexible, work from home, lots of great colleagues.

Minimal pay rises and no bonuses on a yearly basis Fear of layoffs constantly. Regular reorgs

Decent benefits if you have a family. Stock and retirement matching are nice, but make sure you know what you are investing in to. Sometimes the pay is competitive, but you need to really sell yourself. Best way to increase your pay is to find another position within the company. Office culture is acceptable, most people are friendly and it doesn't feel like a prison.

Struggling with budgeting, and needing to layoff people on an almost regular basis. Since the pandemic and the crash of the VSAT stock price, the company has really limited the perks of being an employee. A work from home policy was implemented for almost the entire company, and employees quality of life improved because of it, they have since forced just about everyone back into the office to make the leasing of their offices worth it for them. A lot of middle management can bog down your work day. A significant number of people have really dug in to their position and have not moved, making moving up and promoting difficult.

Nice people, flexible work from home but not for long

Deferred raises for second time in 3 years. Lack of transparency and ownership. “business strategy” is reasoning for deferred compensation. This is the second time this has happened to me which means I am over 1 year behind on a compensation adjustment. Many people have left the company and work has increased. “DO MORE WITH LESS” was communicated to teams. Go work somewhere else and feel appreciated.

Work from home is possible

Constant layoffs. Infighting in leadership. Execs spend wildly while employees asked to voluntarily exit.

Work from home, competitive salary, few silos, very informal. Anyone can contact anyone in this company.

Still not an aviation company, and sometimes it shows. They are working hard to employ aviation people.

Work life balance Employee Equity Work from home

Multiple technology / satellite issues

Work life balance. Allow to work from home.

More transparency. Need to work occasional weekends.

Flexible schedule. Work from home.

Team work is more of a competition. Not much mentoring.

Work from home. Good benefits.

Poor management. Very limited career growth opportunities. If they don’t like you they’ll actively push you out.
