Pros

Hybrid role with 1 day in the center. Easy commute. On-site cafeteria. Some co-workers nicer to work with than others.

Cons

Parking sucks - no covered parking - you have to walk a half mile to get to the building. Micromanagement galore. Poor alignment with corporate and training centers. Lack of support when you speak up. Condescension is rampant among certain managers. Feverishly trying to find a way to another company soon.

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.
