Pros

There were some very excited and passionate young people to work with. Immediate supervisor was exceptional until there was a change in December of 2014.

Cons

Stantec hires on a project by project basis under the guise of "permanent employment". As all publically traded companies it is driven by shareholder expectations. Shareholders expect more than the company can deliver and in challenging economic times large turnover rates are initiated. Western Canada is controlled by senior management out east with no concept of operational constraints in the west. An environment group lead by a person with no understanding that surveys cannot be completed when there is a foot of snow on the ground and its minus 40.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
