Pros

StandardAero is a great company. The work-life balance is perfect as you typically work 40-50 hours a week but it's easy to make appointments. There are a lot of positive people who bring a good enthusiasm to the shop that makes it a really easy place to work. You typically get out early on Fridays, usually between 12-3 depending on your work load.

Cons

They pay a little below an average starting salary position for an engineer. There are a few negative people that will do everything they can to bring down the mood. It doesn't seem to like there is a lot of room to move up in the business though as most of the managers are younger people(30-40's)

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.
