Pros

You get to say you work in the space industry If you were able to negotiate, you could get a decent salary and benefits

Cons

Go look at the leadership page: it’s almost entirely the exact same demo. And it shows in the way that they run the organization. The antiquated way of thinking, the “because I said so” leadership style and the inherent lack of trust in employees is just tragic. Even in snowstorms you’re expected to drive up to office. To do your job on the laptop that you carry with you! People managers are actually given data on when their team clocks in and out. Leadership thinks employees have a problem with the hybrid schedule. We don’t. We hate the rigidity.

Pros

Great benefits compared to other corporations. Exciting programs and teams to be part of. Great Canadian owned company. Leader in Canadian space industry.

Cons

Typical minor negatives that all companies could have. No employee stock buying incentive program. Easy to think that grass is greener on the other side....but I have been to the other side and have happily returned to MDA.
