BOMBARDIER Employer Reviews

Very Nice place to work and many things can be learned and there are many opportunities to improve our professional knowledge when working with BombardierAerospace.

Shift rotation was not really a problem, my days were very steady. There was a slow period, so they laid off a good fraction of the work force, and I was moved into the crating department where I worked nights and evenings. Other than the constant seasonal layoffs, the work is very steady and very demanding. It was fast paced, and steady. Very well – more... balanced team, and understanding management. They respect seniority, and have good rewards and incentives for good ideas and good work. Lot's of opportunity for overtime, and great pay. One of the best jobs I ever had. – less

The company overall does not care about their employees. The management in the Thunder Bay, On location has little to be desired. It is a poorly run company that blames the floor workers for cars not being delivered on time when it a parts supply problem. accounting is not paying the bills so suppliers not delivering the parts. Employees are disgruntled, – more... and management is out of control. Discrimation is big in this company. If you get hurt and loose your seniority you will never be rehired. If you rock the boat what so ever (complain about safty problems) the company will try to get rid of you at any cost. Then they will lie about you if called for a job referance. Would not work there again if it was the last place on earth that would give me a job. The pay is also poor. – less

After 18 1/2 years most of Finance was sent to their Montreal location from Toronto.

A sad day for me as I had planned to work as long as I could.

the next decade will turn this company into a people mover icon. acquire stocks now if you want to retire in freedom 50. twenty yrs from now, realization will crystal clear. nevermind the crystal ball.

Fast changing environment and direction of work, not well felt job security

• Define the needs of the client;
• Ensure the connection of databases between sites Bombardier (Montreal and Wichita)
• Migrate Oracle Access systems and implement applications

a typical day of work at Bombardier is welding sideframes for the trains of what the robot cannot weld. I've learned how to weld MIG. The management isn't bery good really nobody knows what another person is doing. Most of my co-workers are great. The hardest part of the job is the welding cause im new at it but i am improving. The most enjoyable part – more... of my job is welding cause i really like to weld. – less

Its decent place to work. Benefits are great, time off at xmas and 3 weeks vacation on top of that.

The politics are alright but there is not accountability for anyone actions really.

I learned management in this company
great team
dynamic
National and international customers

there is know hard part to any job if you are up for it and you all must be a team so the work go well

- Inspected components from suppliers, assemblies and parts
- Documentation
- Meetings with management
- Reports to engineering department

- I learned leadership and commitment

- The hardest part for me was when I found a serious error camouflaged I reported and the worker was fired

- I enjoyed to to do my job in general

The working day flys by as there is always so much to do. I enjoy and thrive on this challenge. Each day is different. With differing challanges and out comes. From production floor to our suppliers.
Most co workers are good fun to work with others can be troublesome but I work around the issues, so we all get the job done.
Hardest part of the job is – more... keeping all the other departments happy and working together. It is a challenge but I enjoy working through problems with others and getting the outcome we all want.
I enjoy most aspects of my job, helping and looking after my staff is a key point. Seeing the finished product come of the line and be sold always gives me pride as I know that myself and my team have played a big part in that

One of the biggest things I have learnt with the job is to listen to people, not to take things personally and to plan a job well. Sharing the responsabilites where needed and support where needed. Don't try to do everything my self.

My time in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada as warehouse supervisor proved a life changing experience for me, working in a new environment with new challenges. All which I thrived on. I enjoyed a challenge. – less

I would have to say that, having only worked 11 weeks at Bombardier, I don't have much to offer in terms of insight into the full-time experience.

I will, however, say that the coworkers were friendly, and the work was interesting. It did, however, lack a lot of direction and supervision, and so the hardest part was actually finding things to do. My – more... responsibilities were never clearly defined, nor were tools ever adequately provided.

It was an interesting experience; I only wish I could say more – less

Very bureaucratic and sometimes hard to work around union issues.
But great knowledge can be gained

typical some days more hectic than others, most days learned something different, all hands on deck for all and different jos need for completion, hardest part was sometimes interperting changes that had to be modifications.

Excellent Company, Management and Employees. Hoping I get opportunity to return after being released after short term contract as employee returned from sick leave. I believe I am a valuable team member.

Working there it's like being in jail, everything you do you are check on. Even going to the bathroom it's a problem, they count how many time you go. I didn't enjoy working there, the department I was working they call it Alcatraz. So........

For those looking to join a stable and steady employer should consider Bombardier.
