Pros

- Not much work to do, salary comes on time - Just OK cab service - If you lucky enough, you may get (win) 1 or 2 trips to Montreal - Good Co-workers (at least ones I work with)

Cons

- Highly unstable work place, anyone can get fired anytime without any prior information - Management is not sure exactly what they want to do - Always making big plans but no execution - Rarely use any industry standard tools, so CAE experience is not useful in other jobs - Poor (chutiya) HR - Really bad food - Remote location, you won't even get water outside of CAE campus - Not flexible work hours - Not much career growth - Highly corrupt managment

Pros

modelling and simulation is a very interesting space, and brings together great professionals. Everyone submits timesheets so work-life balance is pretty good; you know where you spend your time, and when you have worked a full week.

Cons

Limited career growth, little to no training budget. As a public company, the outlook and planning is short-sighted. Not much in the way of investing in R&D, innovation, strategic partnerships, etc.
