Pros

Most of the work is interesting. There is very little bureaucracy. No cubicles, people have (shared) offices instead. There were few or no layoffs in the recession.

Cons

The pay is very poor for the industry. Most offices have no natural sun light. Not all work is good for professional development.

Pros

MacDonald Dettwiler provides interesting and challenging work. It's a good company to be for if you're interested in the high-technology sector.

Cons

The culture at MacDonald Dettwiler is not very good. Projects are scheduled aggressively, nepotism is rampant, the pay is below industry standards, and the company is very cheap.

Pros

The work is challenging and interesting. There are plenty of opportunities to find your niche and pursue what interests you most, and the people (right up to senior management) are approachable and seem to be interested in the success of the employees.

Cons

The pay is not really competitive when compared with similar work in the industry and in the region. Too bad, because there isn't too much else to complain about.
