StandardAero reviews

StandardAero is running on its reputation from the past. Since its purchase by Dubai Aerospace Industries, it has lost its engaging culture. The Winnipeg management team, once responsible for the running of the company has been replaced by a distant bunch in Arizona who only see Winnipeg as a line on the corporate balance sheet. The company is now al shiny on the surface, but rotting from the inside out. The way employees are treated varies greatly from business unit to business unit. If you are a young engineer just starting out, you are not going to get a lot out of your time at Standard as they have no system of mentorship. You will spend your time reading manuals written by the engine manufacturers and implimenting what they say. Not much room for real engineering. Work here if you don't have a better option, but keep looking. There really is a reason the turn over rate amoung engineers and technologists has been so high. The rate is so high in fact, that the company has initiated a program to try and address this, but my SAL friends say it is the usual SAL HR program: flavour of the month.

Shop floor managers tend to overreact and use more iron-handed management techniques, instead of trying to encourage their employees positively and create employees that WANT to work hard for the company, they end up with employees that HAVE to work.
