Pros

- People were open to helping and sharing their experiences and knowledge - There were opportunities to try new challenges if you were properly equipped for it - There is opportunity to be the "face of the team" and become the "main point of contact" on projects. I found this really helped me grow

Cons

- If they find that you can do work efficiently and work well under pressure - they drown you with more work - You don't really get too many opportunities to transition between groups (laterally) nor grow vertically

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.
