Marilyn, Marine Corps

How does your job at Viasat compare to your job in the military?

The best part of my current job here at Viasat (and it really reminds me of my job in the Marine Corps) is that my leadership experience affords me the reputation of being dependable; and I’m proud of that. At Viasat, I also have an amazing opportunity to develop and grow on my Marine skills but now they are applied to industry. Viasat, just like the Marine Corps, grooms innovation-not only to shape the battlefield but to advance technologies that advance human kind. I am grateful to be part of this!

Glenn, Air Force

Are there ways that your career in the Air Force compare to your career with Viasat?

The environment at Viasat is a lot more open and creative than what I experienced in the military. There is still a lot of camaraderie and teamwork that one would expect from the military, but the intensity and pressure has been turned down a notch.
