Business outlook
Pros
Great team-oriented atmosphere and non-stress culture. Engineers can thrive and find rewarding and challenging projects. "Flat" organization is good for the worker bees, though as ViaSat grows, so too does bureaucracy. I found pay and benefits to be above average. Great environment for a self-starter. Kind of regret leaving.
Cons
"Flat" organization has it's downside for those who prefer clearly delineated roles, objectives and coordinated effort. The small company approach to innovative engineering may be a necessary casualty as ViaSat grows. It's either a pro or a con depending on perspective.
