MDP Testimonials:

In my two years at Burke, I’ve met so many new people and developed some great friendships with other staff members. The environment is very positive and social; there’s always someone to chat with. The work-life balance is excellent; we are never expected to work outside of normal working hours, and we’re given a generous number of days off throughout the year.

In terms of the MDP Program/Account Management, I’ve found the position to be very rewarding and fulfilling. The amount of effort you put in directly correlates to how much you’ll get out of it in terms of experience, compensation, and relationships.

The position is quite dynamic; you’re meeting new people every day and building professional relationships with many people from all different industries.

The management team, in my opinion, is excellent. They truly care about each team member and always put “people” first.
