Pros

It is a job if you can find nothing else.

Cons

In the current market they will hire almost anyone that applies. I worked at Bombardier and we were bought out by CAE. I chose to go fly full-time and although I had 200 hours of vacation they chose to pay me only 80. The vacation was clearly noted on pay stubs but that did not matter. Also, on my last paycheck they chose not to abide by my 401k contribution. This type of experience is CAE in a nutshell. They just don't treat their employees well and seem to go out of their way to find ways to do that.

Pros

CAE has been an incredibly supportive place to build a career. Leaders genuinely invest in your development, and there’s a strong culture of learning, collaboration, and trust. I’ve always felt empowered to bring ideas forward and take on new challenges. The company cares about its people, provides flexibility when it matters, and creates an environment where you can grow personally and professionally. Proud to be part of this organization.

Cons

The company is evolving fast, which is good—but change can be emotionally challenging for teams navigating uncertainty.

Lots of nepotism among management that favor relatives or close friends for hiring, promotions, or assignments, also micro management and a get it done attitude rather than focus on quality
