Pros

I have been with Stantec for about five years at two locations. The people are genuinely good people here, and hard workers are recognized and rewarded for the most part. It is an integrated approach to design, so architects, designers, and engineers would side by side. No one works crazy hours on a regular basis like some other firms and there is very limited drama. We have regular office happy hours and events, and Stantec supports organizations and events that employees want to be a part of. It is also easy to transfer between office locations and specialties because of the size of the firm.

Cons

It is such a large firm that sometimes you feel out of the loop on current events and your issues can get drowned out unless you speak up.

Pros

Can have the opportunity to work with talented engineers.

Cons

Being a part of the Stantec 'marketing' team means nothing more than being a glorified proposal administrator. Being creative and having a personality are seen as negative for this position. There are no opportunities for career advancement and compensation is not up to industry standards. The Southeast team, in particular, is run like a sorority house. I enjoyed working with the local engineers, but any dealings with the marketing higher-ups was like beating my head against the wall. My advice on joining this team - DON'T.
