Pros

the culture and environment at Viasat is aimed at making employees happy. they go a long way to achieve this and it makes for a very good sell. But that is all it turns out to be.

Cons

not all departments have the same issue, the one I worked in was out of control. I had an issue with a coworker who stepped over the line and had taken their homophobic hatred to the point of using intimidating with death threats, vandalizing personal property and stealing personal property. Management told me to ignore it no matter how hostile the work environment become, because this person is mentally unstable and was not responsible for their actions. I do not believe that is an excuse for the behavior. The management in this department hide behind a mask of 18th century bigotry and ignorance.
