Pros

Great people, work-life balance, flexible hours, defined benefit pension, ok health benefits, the tools you need to do the job are provided, Christmas shut-down.

Cons

Noncompetitive pay, and virtually no money for training or professional development for the average employee (limited online Sigal training courses don't count), useless annual goal setting exercises. Few new contract wins has resulted in several rounds of layoffs. Low employee engagement.

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
