Pros

You get to experience flight simulators and insight to flight training.

Cons

No career opportunities for those who are genuinely capable and are career driven. Management at CAE Oxford hire individuals who are either young and no aviation experience or management who will stick around for years who are not "competent" with "modern tech" this resulting you getting paid less and doing more work as your "Manager" has instructed you to do this( because they can't) and overall there is no recognition of your hard work. HR and Senior management do gossip,lie and backstab each other and are very unprofessional on social media. Favouritism is highly flammable in CAE Oxford. They seem to have a very "bullish" and a good cop bad cop game going on! Staff in one particular area are unprofessional and very rude to students resulting students having to accept what they are saying. The staff should be going the extra mile as these are prestigious customers who deserve more. They are full of empty promises so if your someone who gets their hopes up (forget it). Internally very evident of being disjointed. When you resign don't expect an exit interview as Management won't give you one, personally I think they are scared to present this when being audited to why there is a huge turnover in staff. The OAA management would know they would be under the limelight. To protect themselves you are not given a voice to express your reasons to leave thus resulting history repeating!

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.
