Pros

- If you plan on working at CAE, you better be prepared to travel - which, if you're not in charge of people, is a good thing. You will get to explore some amazing countries during your downtime! - When the final products start taking shape, it really is gratifying to see - the devices are pretty cool.

Cons

- 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.

Pros

Fair salary Good benefits Amazing products with ethical value

Cons

We lost our group leader and the position is not yet covered. So it became a question of character and or convincing attitude to become a "chief" There is a over management. I spent more time arguing about what to do, filling forms telling how I use my time than really working.
