MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Employee

"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."

MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Employee

"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."
