CAE reviews

- This is no longer a company on the leading edge: they are slow to adapt new technologies and are always playing catch-up. Don't expect to be working on the latest and greatest platforms. - On-the-job training: better get used to it, because there is essentially no training or helping hands provided. Choose your cliché: Sink or Swim, Baptism by Fire... - The downside to travel: you'll need to leave at the last-minute, and you could be in the field for weeks on end, doing 60, 70, and 80 hours a week - burnout is a distinct possibility. - Constant re-orgs - Twice-yearly rounds of layoffs offer no stability - Management is often the problem: too much management, and all of them looking to advance to their next position.

Very frequent restructuring/reorganizations. People are terrified of being fired. No promotion opportunities or you have to work for ages in the low level. The management understands business but doesn't understand the technology and the processes. The things are upgraded only when some 3rd part contractors stop producing some components. There is no or really poor system of knowledge preservation. There is no education provided for the in-house software except 2-weeks standard super boring ridiculous course. There are no working procedures. Tons of time are wasted due to the wrong sequence of work or miscommunication between the groups. Micromanagement, almost all the tasks are scheduled "for yesterday". The only reason this company survives is because there are no competitors of the same size, but they are coming...
