Pros
The biggest pro was the stellar people I got work with
Cons
Where to even begin. MDA is a poorly managed chaotic mess with bad morale and disregard for its employees that was only made worse by the DigitalGlobe acquisition...which was actually DG taking over MDA, not the other way around as the headlines would lead you believe. The sheer and utter contempt with which DG treats MDA and its employees has pushed out the best and brightest future stars. Deluded, selfish, and ignorant management have wasted talent and driven people to high stress and burnout, all for well-below average pay for Vancouver and mediocre benefits. HR truly and thoroughly does not care about the staff, and the many many many levels of management just cannot be bothered to change or improve.
