Pros

Flexible schedule and paid overtime, open work space (while you read alot of negative comments about it, it surely is a positive aspect for anyone that's more into socializing and team work), nice environment (rooftop patio, video games, foosball, soccer and softball tournaments, wellness program, bunch of benefits (stock options, extra money for health and personal spending account, more than fair sick leave program), new (but too pricy) cafeteria and many more! Easy to change positions and try different things within the company.

Cons

There is a huge need of employees, people come and quit really quickly, mostly graduate students. Why? Poor training of these new 'kids', major lack of confidence in these same 'kids' (tell managers/SDL they finally get a new assignee in their team and watch there disapointment when you tell them it's a new hire), things tend to be slow (big companies = long processes) and some more experienced employees' are so negative about CAE products/initiatives/software that it can diminish anyone's enthusiast... regardless how much you enjoy your job.

Pros

CAE offers the opportunity to work in a highly respected and technically advanced aviation environment. The work itself is meaningful, especially knowing the impact our services have on pilot safety and training outcomes. Many of the employees are knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely care about doing the right thing for clients. The Las Vegas team is collaborative, and there is a strong sense of teamwork when challenges arise. Leadership has supported improvements during periods of transition, including operational changes and facility moves, and there is exposure to multiple areas of the business that support my professional growth. CAE also provides solid benefits and stability as a global organization, which is reassuring in a fast-changing industry.

Cons

Like many large organizations, business decisions are made without the appropriate change management or the end user being considered. Resource constraints, such has limitations on hiring, particularly during periods of growth place additional strain on frontline teams. Communication and alignment between departments or Centers are inconsistent. Some operational issues would benefit from more proactive planning rather than reactive fixes. There are opportunities to further invest in tools, equipment, and infrastructure to better support employees and client.
