Pros

CAE is a great place to work and have connections and relationship with other colleagues. It is an enterprise that have a lot to offer in terms of technical learning and in process.

Cons

Some decisions made by the CEO made it difficult for them to have competitive salaries. There are barely any bounces and barely any raises. The higher up gets paid top dollar specially from the old people. While at the bottom the salaries are 25% less than the average in the market. And the CEO doesn't want to acknowledge that he says it is just a "bubble". And if ee don't like it I guess we can leave . They can always replace us woth fresh graduates that have harder time landing a job. That is why the average stay at CAE is 2-3 years. Yet they can still build simulators. The CEO is driven by stock price and margins . He doesn't care about employee's salaries and CAE retention problem

Pros

CAE has been an incredibly supportive place to build a career. Leaders genuinely invest in your development, and there’s a strong culture of learning, collaboration, and trust. I’ve always felt empowered to bring ideas forward and take on new challenges. The company cares about its people, provides flexibility when it matters, and creates an environment where you can grow personally and professionally. Proud to be part of this organization.

Cons

The company is evolving fast, which is good—but change can be emotionally challenging for teams navigating uncertainty.
