      Software Developer Co-Op Interview

      29 Jul 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Halifax, NS
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MDA (Halifax, NS) in Jul 2020

      Interview

      Was first contacted through email to setup an interview with the recruiter from MDA. Had a call to discuss what MDA was about and the location of the job; nothing too specific. When getting to the compensation expectations the recruiters said that I'd most likely be making less money than other co-ops (interns) because I am in college instead of university, even though my skills and experience are equal if not extraordinarily better than the other interns. My diploma was used as an excuse to offer me a lower wage. Disgusting.

      Software Engineer (Co-op) Interview

      11 Oct 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Vancouver, BC
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at MDA (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      Facts: HR emailed me to setup an appointment for a phone interview. HR called me 20 minutes later than the appointed time. I asked HR if this interview counted towards the other job postings. HR judges my 3 years of work experience as "currently only suitable for co-op". HR asked me what was my expected salary range. I said the market average. HR said they can't do that. I asked if I can even negotiate, she said no. Proceeds to tell me "well, I guess the interview is over then". Conclusion: Not only were they late by 20 minutes, but the whole conversation felt snarky and hostile. Maybe HR interactions in MDA never gets audited at all. Did not enjoy a single bit of the MDA interview experience.
