Being a new employee with almost no experience at Stantec
Pros
Incredibly supportive team and upper management staff. Very eager to teach provided you are eager to learn. Upper management is happy to provide you with all the tools and equipment necessary to make the job an easy and comfortable one. Extremely inclusive and upbeat working environment, we have fun here but we also work hard to meet the demands of the client and the upper management staff. Overall, truly an excellent experience working here.
Cons
Can be somewhat cutthroat I guess? I was hired on with an employee that got fired within the first 3 months because we was underperforming as an employee. To be fair, he definitely wasn't the best, but I'm not sure that firing him was a better move than being patient and teaching him how to perform "better". Shift work can be difficult. Hard to be away from home for two weeks at a time (regular schedule is 14 on 14 off).
