Toronto, ON (Canada)

Current Employee – been working at Bombardier Aerospace full-time for more than 8 years

ProsThe work is challenging and enjoyable if you're into aerospace on a personal level; there are plenty of opportunities to do very interesting and impactful work, especially if you are good at what you do. Similarly, if you are talented there are reasonable opportunities to move around or upwards.

ConsGood work is rewarded with... more work (for the same pay, mind you). Incentive plan based on company performance of 7.5% target (we are achieving on average half of this) but rewards for individual hard work are seemingly non-existant. Antiquated HR and IT processes can be frustrating.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake better care of your top-performers.

Current Employee – been working at Bombardier Aerospace

ProsCommunication is evident. Competitive salary and benefits. Employees are held to high standards - which if the company were building the product for me I would want. Great attitude with goal of becoming a world-class organization.

ConsSilos among departments with management failing to recognize. High rate of turnover among management - but luckily employees stay within company. Finger-pointing instead of taking responsibility.
