Pros

As long as you do what you are told and expected to do, then all will be well.

Cons

No room for innovation and improving process quality and efficiency. Change is not looked at positively. When process changes are needed there is nothing but excruciatingly poor planning and execution. Executives run the company based on what increases their shares at the end of each quarter, so there is an unnecessary amount of sub contract work when simple in house solutions can be made (but that takes too long in the short run and there is never a sufficient budget for research and development). So again, if you’re looking for somewhere to be a creative and innovative engineer, StandardAero is not for you. Otherwise if you like just being told what to do and doing it with no fuss then this would be a great job for you.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
