Pros

Benefits were very good. Pay rate was decent.

Cons

I don't normally have any issues with employers. However, working at this employer was almost like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde situation. Throughout the interview process, this employer seemed like a dream-employer. It was almost like the new Google or the new Facebook. However, once you started there, they were not very welcoming of new employees. There was absolutely no orientation, no training, and no building mechanisms. New employees were left to their own defenses. The HR team was disengaged, uninvolved, and overall rude. The production team had unqualified managers. There were favorites who got away with things while others were held to more strict standards. Temporary workers were promised the world and then dismissed one or two days before their 90 day term for any small imperfection.

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.
