Pros

it's a big company in Quebec so it adds some bonus on your resume. they are using new technology (or at least trying to switch to new ones) aerospace and aviation industry sounds cool

Cons

worst on board bureaucracy and politics are very obvious in the team, you are on your own and never trust or rely on anyone big plans but very slow action laid off lot of people during pandemic, then expanded dramatically during the recovery, and cut lot of people again who have worked there for years. what picture do you get from this? have no problem of letting people go who have worked there for a long time and good at what they are doing. they talk about training people or certify them, but didn't see any action, especially now there is budget cut if you get an offer from them and think it's a really good opportunity just because of their big name, then really, think again.

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.
