Pros

Very stable company. World leader in flight simulators. Friendly workplace.

Cons

Low salary. Heavy reliance on legacy technology. Even the latest products are merely wrappers for the same old technology. Tasking can be boring - same stuff day-in day-out for years. Architects and senior engineers are unwilling to explore new frameworks, technologies, and design patterns.

Pros

CAE has been an incredibly supportive place to build a career. Leaders genuinely invest in your development, and there’s a strong culture of learning, collaboration, and trust. I’ve always felt empowered to bring ideas forward and take on new challenges. The company cares about its people, provides flexibility when it matters, and creates an environment where you can grow personally and professionally. Proud to be part of this organization.

Cons

The company is evolving fast, which is good—but change can be emotionally challenging for teams navigating uncertainty.
