Pros

Friendly atmosphere with lots of fun people to work with. Benefits are great and the technology is really interesting!

Cons

Some reliance on finding new contacts so layoffs can happen if CAE is unable to find enough new contracts after old ones end. While I enjoyed working with my coworkers I did find the office was your pretty typical corporate environment. It wasn't bad but with lots of tech companies promoting unique workplace atmospheres it feels like a minor con by comparison.
