      Pros

      Leading edge of technology; great working environment with great common lunch area with free coffee and tea and milk and with everyone getting an individual office, with good salaries.

      Cons

      No annual bonuses; way too many unnecessary meetings; way too many levels of middle management who are not productive at all (the people at the bottom are the ones who really produce results). A lot of middle managers, including engineers, show up only part time but draw full-time salaries because they are on good terms with certain upper management personnel. A lot of people are hired without merit through connections with upper management.

      Pros

      - People seem nice - Cafeteria on site - Benefits are good/average - Flex time is nice

      Cons

      Pretty much what everyone else has already said. The company seems to be filled with filler management. There's no guidance for new employees. They have two sets of managers, your line manager and your assignment manager; I've yet to meet either of them nor be explained their role in my job. Job description does not match what I am doing nor does it utilize my education. As a new grad the tasks that I am given with will not help me advance my career at all. Nobody has sat down with me to discuss my role on the team and what I'll be doing in the future. I specifically accepted this offer because of the technology I thought I would be working with yet I haven't been able to work with any of it. So many documents, so much process, so disorganized. And of course: the pay is below average, especially with how big the company is.

      Pros

      Good place to gain some initial experience and to make some friends. Good for conservative people who like a stable, but slightly below average income.

      Cons

      When it comes to personal growth, compensation or office culture, MDA is not the place to be. The company is stingy.
