Good place to start out as a new grad. But better to not stay for long - Software Engineer MDA Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We want to quickly address and correct a few items that were raised: • Overtime at MDA is either paid out or employees have the flexibility to bank the time to take as time off or as cash at a future date or make a pre-tax contribution to their MDA RRSP. There is no minimum threshold • Regarding salaries, MDA regularly reviews market data and adjusts salaries to remain competitive. We also have our annual review and a “merit increase” process to continuously recognize and reward employees as they grow in their career with us. In addition to competitive salaries, MDA provides a comprehensive benefits program. • We are investing heavily in our employee’s development. After the restrictions of COVID, we have been able to reinstate a number of MDA led training events – and support attendance at professional development conferences. We have also recently launched a number of communities of practice for coaching, mentoring and knowledge sharing that provide additional opportunities for growth and skill development. • We agree we have a lot of processes – however, when you’re dealing with the kinds of mission critical, advanced space systems and technology that MDA delivers – these are crucial to both success and safety. • We work on a broad mix of legacy programs that must be maintained; and leading-edge technologies that are shaping the future of space. Our employee turnover rates are in-line with or lower than the norms for our industry in the region. We value employee feedback. Our “pulse” surveys keep MDA management in-touch with issues that are important to employees so we can take appropriate action when necessary. We encourage you – and any employee that has a concern, to reach out to your Human Resources Business Partner to discuss ways to make your employment more fulfilling.
