Pros

-Onsite visit to Montreal ( if you are lucky) - You may sit idle for long time, if you are intended to prepare for competative exams then its a good company.

Cons

There are many to list - Management keeps changing every year in the name of 'transformation' - There is not vision for India especially Software Engineering Group and Courseware/Techpubs - No career growth - Although you are performing well you may be fired if Montreal doesnt feel to carry out the particular task should not be done in India - Every manager gets fired in one or two years in the name of transformation/restructuring/vision - Lack of leadership globally and India- every company in world wants to outsource to India( Indeed CAE Director/CEO may want to do it, but no support from Execution team managers/SSAs/PDLs from Montreal) -HR is very much pathetic, even for the current employees and for the one who has left the company. People may not get relieving letters many a times and you will not be answered by anyone if you try to call. (HR team itself is unstable, keeps changing. Only HR director is fixed like Fevicol

Pros

Good pay, reasonably interesting for someone who has never worked in a simulation environment before (though it gets stale very quickly). Wide variety of projects/customers to work on. Possibility to travel worldwide and make some decent money.

Cons

Monotonous tasks, very few pro-active and motivated people to work with. Work schedule which changes on a week-to-week (or day-to-day) basis depending on project situation. Lots of evening and night shifts. Personal time becomes a precious commodity.

Pros

Good place to start a career, lots of opportunities to learn technologies and business. Pretty good work/life balance. Good salary.

Cons

Long hours are expected, but overtime is not always recognized. Upper management needs to communicate more with all lower employees
