CAE doesn't care about female employees

Contributor product specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours when working at the office.

Cons

Men are given chance to improve and to stay in the company when in a low-performance period. This is not the case for women. They claim to care about employees, diversity, and inclusion but at the same time they will fire the only woman in a technical team without talking to her or giving any chance to improve as they do with male employees. It's a boys club, they can stay lazy and mediocre at their jobs and they face no consecuences.

Pros

- international teams - flexible working hours - table soccer

Cons

- outdated technologies - management keeps back information, they even lie in your eyes - crucial information is not transparent, most of the time you don't even know what the goals are - you are moved from one project to the next without asking you - management cares about only the numbers - extra hours are not paid - you must do tasks outside of your position - bad teamwork - unfriendly collageues - gossips - weak salary - you must fight for salary raise even if you put in extra hours, your extra hours aren't recognized - there are favorites even if they are mediocre at their job - they care clean code on paper only, but in reality there is no time - they don't care about technologies only the politics - btw politics, international teams are fighting with each other instead of working together - montreal rules everything, no independence - micromanagement - team leads only care about their own butt - homophobic environment, there are gossips about you and silent treatment
