Pros

In the headquarters, the company has a plan to upgrade the workspace involving the employees in the transformation. Montréal site has started office projects in which they offer a variety of work setting (stand-up stations, focus zone, scrum areas, socialization and gaming zone, etc.) We finally have the choice of where to work. And with all the choices offered to employees, there is something for everyone. For once, the employees have been considered in priority and mangement don't even have their own private office in this concept. They are closer to us and this helps to increase transparency. Natural light has been increased because no offices have been build adjacent to the Windows.

Cons

Old culture is still very present and tends to come back rapidly when facing challenges. Tele-working is not officially encouraged as they have a Policy of presence from 9:30 to 15:30.

Pros

CAE offers the opportunity to work in a highly respected and technically advanced aviation environment. The work itself is meaningful, especially knowing the impact our services have on pilot safety and training outcomes. Many of the employees are knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely care about doing the right thing for clients. The Las Vegas team is collaborative, and there is a strong sense of teamwork when challenges arise. Leadership has supported improvements during periods of transition, including operational changes and facility moves, and there is exposure to multiple areas of the business that support my professional growth. CAE also provides solid benefits and stability as a global organization, which is reassuring in a fast-changing industry.

Cons

Like many large organizations, business decisions are made without the appropriate change management or the end user being considered. Resource constraints, such has limitations on hiring, particularly during periods of growth place additional strain on frontline teams. Communication and alignment between departments or Centers are inconsistent. Some operational issues would benefit from more proactive planning rather than reactive fixes. There are opportunities to further invest in tools, equipment, and infrastructure to better support employees and client.
