Pros

A workplace that offers inherent flexibility, manageable oversight, and the freedom to explore your curiosity. Engaging, unique projects and colleagues who truly make an impact.

Cons

Large company with many org structures (operating unit, office, role, etc.) with legacy cliques that tend to align with past acquisitions. Everyday processes could be more streamlined and efficient through automation, but functionality, progress, and problem solving take higher priority, performance wise.

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.
