Pros

Really interesting projects, wont be boring or repetitive. Employees services are available, as cafeteria with fair price, huge parking lot and organized activities between employees as sport, event, etc.

Cons

Management is ruining the potential opportunity for career growth by nominate managing candidate from their seniority with no regards on the lack of important competences in management and technical knowledge relate to their department . Result being a lot of managers weakens by their ego refusing to admit they can be wrong and lacking humanity in communication with their collegues to create a cooperation environnement. Without targeting it, Union here might have something to do with some of those management lacking individual.

Pros

A respectful environment, talented staff, and very challenging and interesting work.

Cons

Total compensation is not in line with the competitive outside world. Challenging work is a strong draw, but pay needs to meet a threshold. Do you want your engineers focused on MDA's needs, or worried about affording a modest house in the GTA?
