      Alleged discrimination of CAE in the USA

      Chief tki

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Until last year I would have said CAE was a good company family company to work for as a career. I was the Chief TKI for CAE branch overseas and I was treated well. My internal Workday CAE company employment evaluation were good too. Unfortunately, the program at my location was closed and I was let go and forced to return to the USA. While at CAE, my coworkers and myself felt committed wholeheartedly to the company and our clients.

      Cons

      The age (possibly race too) discrimination by CAE recruitment in the USA Dallas HQ. Not only had I held a mid-level Management position in CAE overseas, I also had worked previously for PARC Aviation, ( CAE has teamed up with them for recruiting under the name CAEParc ), as a contract instructor at EK in Dubai for approximately 3 years. While still overseas, I was offered a position as a TKI, with some limited CFI duties, in Phoenix-Arizona. However, I was needed to conduct an Audit in another country, and when I returned to my base, I was advised that the Phoenix position had been eliminated, all ground training was shifted back to Europe, but I could still apply for a CFI position in Phoenix with less remuneration, relocation assistance, etc. I declined and returned to the USA with wife and children in 2016. I am 53 years old, have applied for several positions with CAE in USA, 1 Auditor and at least 9 other management and / or instructor positions in the last 12 months. Despite meeting and exceeding the requirements of most of the positions I applied for, the CAE USA recruitment team has refused to so much as to offer me an opportunity to interview at the very least.

      Thank you for your note. At CAE we have a zero tolerance for discrimination of any type and we have rigorous processes in place to investigate any allegations of discrimination. In regards to our recruitment, our objective is always to find the most qualified candidates for the available roles. The most qualified, which includes the individuals fit with our company values, is our only criteria in selecting people. This is certainly the case in terms of our Flight Instructor positions that you have referenced in your comment. The age of the individuals is a non-issue for us, and in fact we have a number of highly qualified Flight Instructors in their 60's and 70's working at CAE and bringing great value to our customers. We cannot speak to your specific qualifications/suitability given the anonymous nature of Glassdoor, but we can assure you that your age or race were not a factor in our selection process. It is not how we at CAE do business. Thank you again for your comment, and best wishes to you in your job search.

      Pros

      Decent salary, great benefits of you live in the state of Florida. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 20 word minimum blah.

      Cons

      Management and HR conspire against employees that make complaints. Nothing is held in confidence. In the department I worked in, the culture was male dominated and women were not treated equally. If you are part of the golden inner circle, you can do no wrong. If you are not, then you should probably just leave, because you will get nowhere. Also, I never saw a disabled person working there when I was there, very strange for such a big company.

      Sad at the direction of this company

      Pros

      The people I worked with across the country and world are still some of my closest friends. Working with healthcare providers to impact patient safety was such a worthwhile occupation.

      Cons

      Once METI was purchased by CAE, the company went from a learning company to a simulator company. The management has no clue that the education part of the company impacted the sales at a very high level. In addition, the sales force was extremely low in numbers compared to its rival companies all along. Now, with eliminating sales and education employees at regular intervals it certainly will get worse. HR did not maintain my confidentiality while an employee which led to some difficulties in my last days. I'm glad I am gone; I'm sad for my friends who won't find another job before they get laid off in the next round.
