Pros

Good co workers in the team

Cons

Management does not stay long term and often switch positions or leave company. Mandatory office presence now increased to 3 days a week which goes back on promise of telework as we demonstrated increased productivity while working remotely during stressful and uncertain times. Flexible vacation plan translates to standsrd vacation like at other companies, except if you work in certain teams where new employees all take 6 weeks of vacation. The stock has fallen to low 24$ range from all time highs during covid due to fixed projects, buying large company stocks (al3Harris defence). We sold healthcare portion of Cae which is a shame as it was a bright side of Cae especially during covid as they set up vaccination clinics and developped ventillators to save lives which brough good public news for Cae.

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.
