Pros

Most coworkers were smart and friendly Decent salary and perks (per Denver standard) Good coffee Unlimited paid sick leave

Cons

It used to have only one (1) HR person for the whole office! That one person couldn't keep up with anything and everyone was still ok with it. You get promoted, if the management REALLY likes you Old boys network Completely disconnected from the HQ culture Almost always understaffed A lot of proprietary stuff to work on, working on that won't help much when looking for a new job

Thank you for your insight. While we haven’t heard from as many of our Denver based employees on Glassdoor, we were delighted to hear from them in our recent employee survey about their positive experiences working at ViaSat and yes, areas where we could improve, which we truly appreciate. We also value our diverse culture and have dedicated members on our People and Culture team who champion diversity across our locations including veterans, women in tech and African American outreach and support programs to name a few. We believe diversity is the cornerstone to innovation and growth and are surprised to hear your experience did not reflect this. We hope you will reach out to your HR Business Partner or contact the employee ethics line so we can identify any shortcomings on our part.

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

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
