Great company with autonomy, not a trend chaser but a long-term builder - Recensione dipendente - Machine Learning Engineer presso Viasat

pros are the work enviroment and people

the pay could be better.

Fair compensation, flexible work environment, great benefits.

Highly political, not much room for growth (9/10 times they will hire external candidates over internal), shady upper management. Seems like no one knows the company's future or direction. Managers do not care about contributors' career growth; most of them are coasting until retirement (i.e., not providing any value but wasting time and energy). Will be down your throat on a $20 travel expense, yet spend $$$$$$$$ on private flights for their executives. Will offer your same position to an external candidate a year later for $40k more in salary, but only give you a $5k bonus. Feels like different business areas are competitors rather than all working for the same team (Viasat).
