Pros

-They'll hire anybody! Great for those of us with a shameful GPA and limited extracurricular activities in college. -Fun people to work with (at my location) -They hire a lot of women. So far there's no indication that they're being harassed, either (at my location) -It's very hard to get fired. I'm not saying that you won't get called out for screwing up, but you should feel safe about signing an apartment with a lease.

Cons

-Medical insurance coverage is below industry average. You're looking to lose at least ~$100 from each paycheck if you're single (~$200 for married). -They're a giant company without the infrastructure to support it yet. Stantec is currently interested in buying as many Civil Engineering companies they can get their hands on. This means extra paperwork, delayed paperwork, and lost paperwork. -In California, your employment contract is at-will (can be fired at any minute) AND has a 6 month non-competition clause (can't work for a direct competitor for 6 months after leaving). You should be extra sure that you're happy with your job and salary, because you're now a slave to the Stantec system.

Pros

Stantec is a great company to work for, and offers benefits and a shareholder program. The company has a presence in all provinces of Canada and conducts work in multiple streams for the construction, urban development and green energy sectors. I worked at the technician level, part-time and felt valued and a part of the team. I had a contract position with another company and the management accommodated me in scheduling between contracts. The company is expanding and seems to offer growth to employees and has a warm work atmosphere.

Cons

I only worked part-time for a short period so I didn't have the chance to observe any cons worth mentioning.
