Pros

- company brand: CAE is a nice name - Full-Flight simulators are incredible machines! If you get the chance to try one out, please do!

Cons

- they don't care, it's as simple as that... - and because the company is poorly managed, there are many waves of layoffs, something like one every 8 months so be careful if you join and make sure you work on your backups
