Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend MBDA to a friend?
What advice would you give to others applying to MBDA
I have found that a lot of the software's used in the company are probably new to new employees, so your experience matters more in the sense that you can apply skills you have learnt rather than you are the best at coding in one language.
