Pros

StandardAero is the leader in the industry for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of TFE 731 engines and business jets. They offer pretty decent benefits and work flexibility. There are lots of opportunities for advancements and the company believes heavily in promoting from within. There are many instances of people in higher positions that started "from the bottom". There is a lot of company pride in the shops.

Cons

The company does not progress in terms of IT infrastructure. They are always on the verge of a sale, trying to cut costs wherever possible. The company has changed over multiple times and the current CEO has made it obvious that he will get to the bottom line no matter what -- even if means cutting people who have built a lifetime career there. Opportunities for training or keeping up to date with the most current trends are really non-existent. Extremely weak marketing.

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.
