At Viasat you’ll get to

Work on collaborative teams

“The global aspect of Viasat in serving and connecting people around the world is super important to me personally, so that’s what drew me to the company,” she said. “What’s had me stay here over time has been the culture and the people, how we interact as a team and solve problems together.” – Jessica, director of aircraft engineering & certification

Design your ideal career

“After completing my internship at Viasat, I knew Viasat had the work environment I wanted. I also knew I wanted to complete my CPA license and Viasat offered me the financing to complete it while working full-time. I was the first to complete Viasat’s Corporate Accounting Rotational Program, spending six months working on four teams: Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Internal Audit, and Revenue Recognition. Today, I’m a part of the Internal Audit team where I can touch all Viasat business areas in a unique way, which makes every day interesting.” – Lucy, internal auditor

Work on global challenges

“Viasat launched its residential service in Spain in 2018, using capacity on the KA-SAT satellite. I spoke with a woman who had no alternative whatsoever. She had to drive an hour whenever she wanted to do a video call with clients. For her, the value of high- quality broadband wasn’t about price – it was what allowed her to keep her livelihood. That’s a very real problem, and to know we were able to resolve it is very fulfilling. It also allowed a lot of people who used to live in the city for work to move back to their hometowns, closer to their families. To me, it was really powerful to know our service gave them freedom to do that.” – Javier, country manager

Give back to your community

“We're investing deeply in transformative impact with our nonprofit partners around the world. We've provided the tools, but we'd be leaving them hanging if we didn't equip them with the skills needed to use the technology they've never had access to. The expertise and skills of our employees are as valuable as the internet we donate, and our employees can achieve incredible outcomes on behalf of Viasat while developing their leadership skills.” – Mark, social impact program manager

And be authentically you

“My leaders in corporate security are also a huge reason for me feeling at home at this company. I’ve never felt like I’ve had to make myself palatable in regard to how I wear my hair, dress, or even speak — as many Black women often do. I’ve been supported, respected, and appreciated for my contributions, and they’ve enabled my development. Most importantly, my leaders are invested in learning why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are vital not only to the success of the company, but to the sense of belonging for their employees like me. When I’ve shared my unique experiences, specifically at Viasat, they don’t deny what they’ve heard or question the plausibility; they absorb it as a lesson. I’m thankful for that.” – Mallory, security project manager
