Stantec reviews

Offices are becoming production houses for Canadian projects. Offices have difficulty retaining talent.

- The employee comes last, and some jobs are not as stable as they seem to be. Always be prepared for layoffs. -Again, the employee comes last. Those who may be among the best in their field may be treated with little or no respect, and the objective of management may be made very clear: to "take advantage of" employees' skills and use them while they can benefit the company. -Not necessarily a company for those looking to practice science. "Science" tasks have on occasion been delegated to persons with little to no training, and proper scientific investigation has been discouraged on some occasions. -Depending on management, trainings and other career development opportunities may be discouraged for individual employees. -Working independently is valued and encouraged, but the down side is that supervisors and management may have no idea of an employee's accomplishments or value; employee accomplishments may even be ignored. -Performance reviews may not be taken seriously. -Office confidentiality has the potential to be non-existent. -Sexual harassment and discrimination against female scientists has occurred.
