Pros

- people genuinely care about the jobs they do - wellbeing team and employee resource groups do excellent work - exciting large scale projects - very few barriers to getting involved in activities outside your day job - sustainability focused in everything it does

Cons

- project management systems are set up for framework style work winning and company unwilling to address or change - results in low morale, high admin burden and declining scope for high performance for those involved in high volume quick turnaround work. - company value of putting people first does not extend far up the decision making tree - speed of recognition for those showing leadership traits and performing above their grade is poor

Pros

Working as an Administrative Assistant at Stantec involves a wide range of responsibilities and can be highly rewarding for those who are motivated and proactive. The office environment is positive, and colleagues are approachable and collaborative. Being part of a large international organization also brings a strong sense of pride and purpose to the role.

Cons

One downside of working at Stantec is the uncertainty around job security, as organizational restructuring and cost-saving measures can sometimes lead to unexpected layoffs.

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.
