Pros

Flexible schedule and paid overtime, open work space (while you read alot of negative comments about it, it surely is a positive aspect for anyone that's more into socializing and team work), nice environment (rooftop patio, video games, foosball, soccer and softball tournaments, wellness program, bunch of benefits (stock options, extra money for health and personal spending account, more than fair sick leave program), new (but too pricy) cafeteria and many more! Easy to change positions and try different things within the company.

Cons

There is a huge need of employees, people come and quit really quickly, mostly graduate students. Why? Poor training of these new 'kids', major lack of confidence in these same 'kids' (tell managers/SDL they finally get a new assignee in their team and watch there disapointment when you tell them it's a new hire), things tend to be slow (big companies = long processes) and some more experienced employees' are so negative about CAE products/initiatives/software that it can diminish anyone's enthusiast... regardless how much you enjoy your job.

Pros

- Nice Cafeteria - Friendly and supportive people - Usage of new tools - Bike friendliness - Huge parking area - Location: as an aerospace company it is good to see the airplanes so closely - Free shuttle service in the afternoon back to Du College metro - It is a place to improve skills, in the recent years the initiative is to use more modern tools

Cons

- scrum usage for bug fixing - open office (there are many articles that proves its negative affect on productivity), of course for someone it can be positive though - Location, there is a downside of the location: to reach it, you need to use the highways with smog, big traffic, etc - The huge parking lot is often full
