Pros

A lot of good, talented, friendly people. Some interesting projects completed by the local office. Lots of interesting projects and services across the company. Most approachable CEO I've met. Salary could be better, but the benefits package was great until they scaled back in 2016 to cut costs.

Cons

No real career development options, long hours (basically every day) to meet deadlines, no support from management regarding work-life balance or stress (basically told to just "deal with it"). Felt like being in school again and frequently being assigned to work with someone who doesn't share your passion, work ethic or desire to do produce a quality product. So you're carrying the bulk of the project on your shoulders.

Pros

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Cons

Projects are inconsistent in organization and structure (some good some bad). High (and strict) utilization requirements of >93% for entry level and mid level engineers results in overtime with overlapping work loads to avoid any downtime between projects. No development or mentorship strategy around work assignments, the main goal is to keep utilization up. Stantec has been very focused on cutting costs by offshoring, limiting conference attendance, reducing volunteer hours, no tuition reimbursement, multiple layers of approvals to attend in-office CPR training, etc. Very corporate environment and top heavy management with over 240+ “Vice Presidents” currently at the company. Difficult to get raises/promotions besides annual raise. Typical raise is ~3-5% with a good review depending on where your current salary is in relation to the pay range for your career level.
