Pros

The company itself is great, if you are a technical person. Had lots of resources and benefits. Good culture. Good people.

Cons

The Marketing team, and specifically the New England Regional Marketing team, is run by people who are there because they got in at the right time, not because they should be qualifications wise, and you will never pass them based on your hard work or merit. They treat you like adult daycare. You are overworked to the bone and in return you get very very little with zero growth opportunity, recognition, or small allowances to show you apprecoation. I have been there a while now and have seen some great team members leave because of frustration over this and I will ultimately leave because if this too. Further, at the management level, which is really sad, there is a lot of gossip, backstabbing, lying. I haven't been directly involved but I can't believe what I have seen/heard. It's unreal. So unprofessional. Again this seems to be very much isolated to Marketing and specifically in the NE region.

Pros

Not a positive thing to say !!!!

Cons

Management is driven by profits only. They will totally disrepect you if you are not producing the numbers that they expect. The only way to advance seems to be by working 60+ hours and getting paid for 40 and not making any issues. People who complain are systematically replaced.

Pros

Stantec is a large, global firm and fairly consistent.

Cons

The marketing and communications management team employs a "good old girl" network. The relationships at the top are not only insidious, but unfair. There is an environment of feeling like you are in high school which can be extremely disheartening. Those promoted to leadership roles achieve this because they are liked - not because they actually have merit or skill. Outside of Stantec, these "un"professionals would never rise to their level of success at this organization. That does NOT bode well for the department. If you want to move up or grow, or be respected for your contributions, find another place to work.
