Operations Program Manager Intern

June - September 2018 • Carlsbad, CA

What I liked

The freedom and encouragement to explore the whole company and drive your own projects. Rather than doing trivial work for the company you are driving solutions and solving problems that have a real impact on the business

What I wish was different

More direction. While the freedom was great, having a bit more guidance would have been beneficial for moving a bit faster and with clear direction.

Advice

Embrace the ambiguity of the position. Viasat wants you to get outside your comfort zone and find solutions to difficult problems so don't be afraid of doing something a bit different than what might be expected of your role traditionally.
