"Worked at MDA from 2015-2019. The work done is of the highest caliber and there are very interesting projects. However, with the changes in management, the future direction is not clear and the project pipeline does not seem as exciting as in previous years. Great place to grow; currently, not the best place to stay."
"I have worked for Alliance space systems as soon as I was finished with my army term. I have spear headed many new programs while improving the quality assurance of the customer. I carry the ability to write work instructions based off prints and able to create cause and corrective actions into a first article to give to customers."
"I enjoyed my time at MDA, but I found the work to not be very challenging and the pay to be a little low. I would have preferred to have received more compensation for my work, but I enjoyed the job all the same. I would do it again and I recommend it to people looking for entry-level experience."
