I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Viasat (Carlsbad, CA)
Interview
Interviewed with multiple people in person. Team was trying to identify if my personality would be a good fit. Went around the building to multiple people's offices where they would individually interview me.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Viasat in Sep 2025
Interview
I found the interviewers very professional and asking insightful questions. I went through several rounds of interviews with different layers of the organization, a few of which were rescheduled multiple times. I think that was pretty inconsiderate of my time, since I wasn't offered the job and had to reach out to HR to get any response. I liked the managers I spoke to, and the company seems like a pretty good place to work at, but the several weeks of interviews with no offer left a bad impression of their interview process.

Interview
It was great!
1. 30 min call with recruiter
2. 30 min call with hiring manager
3. In person interviews with 6 people, all 30 mins, one in group of two interviewers
They asked general questions to hard behavioral questions. Overall easy as long as your personable, yourself, and honest.
