Pros

CAE is a great place to be technically challenged, learn a lot in a very short time and to be given high responsibilities.

Cons

CAE is often trying to do to many things for the resources they have. This lead to engineers being assigned to too many projects at the same time which is not always very efficient.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overtime is paid. Travel for business is possible, if you like to travel.

Cons

Management is incompetent. Constant restructuring, management is changed yearly to avoid giving employees rewards for past achievements. Constant layoffs. Too much travel, no life work balance. Technology is old and experience very specialized . Almost no training. Too big gap between management and employees. While employees salaries are frozen or cut, management receives fat bonuses. (sometimes bonus equals 16 times their salary)
