Pros

-Very interesting work. -Can be hands on if you choose. -Great coworkers and company culture. -Good mentoring from experienced engineers. -Unlimited sick leave. -Possibility to bank time is great.

Cons

-HR often don't respond to emails (overworked). -HR and engineers union are often in conflict. -Having a union representing engineers can be a double edged sword. Salary brackets are clearly defined by the union so not much wiggle room for negociation of salary. -Very little vacation (2 weeks a year).

Pros

MDA's management is friendly and encourages the employees. The overall atmosphere among the employees is collaborative. The product is very interesting and the customers are professionals.

Cons

The company has been around for a long time so the processes have not been optimized. The salary is not competitive with the industry based on the level of complexity of the products being produced.

Pros

Strong growth and a large back-order of business. Stable industry and strong job security. If in one of the unions, very strong member pension plans (RRSP as well), and good benefits for all. (Union or non-union) Potential for growth Helping to build SPACE products is very cool

Cons

Some area's of the business have tight salary scales, but if you are passionate about SPACE, salary is secondary. Still good salaries for the industry. (Government contractor)
