Stantec reviews

Immense pressure to be at over 80% utilized. If you are not, you are told to take time off (or use vacation) to keep the numbers up. Budgets for projects can be very tight (to stay competitive) so you end up working on your own time (e.g. for free) just to get the job done as they don't want write-offs. Upper management not in the same office as their teams, have no idea of what is actually going on in the local marketplaces - huge disconnect. Constantly buying up smaller firms, every six months there seems to be a "restructuring" (layoffs).

They mislead staff and new hires and get rid of people once a problem is fixed.No loyalty..expensive benefits.No job security. They don't value staff in any department and many departments are low paid . The senior mangers who have bene there for a long long time like in RIhcmond VA, are just rude, non caring people who dont care baout staff. .Nicknamed " the "body shop" in the business.Health funds disappear,pay goes missing.HR ignores problem.Stantec is a Mergers and Acquisitions compnay wiht bad long time senor management. so expect a fair amount of chaos as the acquire, slice and dice and re-purpose the assets they acquire. They also furlough people to get out of paying severence.
