Pros

Before, when it was METI it was a great place to work. Management was great too. Then...CAE acquired METI in 2011.

Cons

Want to get laid off or fired? Then work here at CAE. No stability. CAE management pushes you around like a bull mowing over you. One minute you are busy working and without a clue they lay you off. Would never want to go back there again.

Pros

Good pay, reasonably interesting for someone who has never worked in a simulation environment before (though it gets stale very quickly). Wide variety of projects/customers to work on. Possibility to travel worldwide and make some decent money.

Cons

Monotonous tasks, very few pro-active and motivated people to work with. Work schedule which changes on a week-to-week (or day-to-day) basis depending on project situation. Lots of evening and night shifts. Personal time becomes a precious commodity.
