      Pros

      Large multi-discipline company with substantial resources at the firm level, very professional people, collaboration between offices and disciplines, good benefits, well developed intranet with vast resources, good mandatory internal project management training and certification, program to fund individual research relevant to discipline.

      Cons

      Top heavy management structure, turf issues create competitive environment where it could be collaborative, ample peer resources but cheap on support resources.

      Pros

      There were some very excited and passionate young people to work with. Immediate supervisor was exceptional until there was a change in December of 2014.

      Cons

      Stantec hires on a project by project basis under the guise of "permanent employment". As all publically traded companies it is driven by shareholder expectations. Shareholders expect more than the company can deliver and in challenging economic times large turnover rates are initiated. Western Canada is controlled by senior management out east with no concept of operational constraints in the west. An environment group lead by a person with no understanding that surveys cannot be completed when there is a foot of snow on the ground and its minus 40.

      Pros

      My office was not a recent acquisition so it is established in Stantec's (constantly changing) policies. There is interesting work, when we win it. The people are for the most part friendly. If you are an underachieving, poor attitude, rarely punctual employee, don't worry about it, because they will waste time, energy, and money on you until you leave voluntarily after providing little to no gain to the company. You can learn a very broad range of skills.

      Cons

      The focus is 100% clients, 0% employees. It is very hard to feel appreciated or valued at this company when the focus all of the time is making money. When people leave and resources dwindle, there are no changes to workload or chased work. They will maintain the same amount of work coming in the door, and you're lucky if it doesn't increase. The main point: there is no commitment to employees at this company. Not even a pretend one. Their salaries are below industry average, and they pay based on location. And they wonder why people leave for the other big firms.
