Stantec reviews

There seems to be a lack of employee valuation by upper management and few opportunities for advancement even when skill level and and immediate suppervisor recomendations warrent so.

In many positions here your voice will never be heard. You will be just an asset that they will not hesitate to replace without any explanation. At this particular location many employess leave to go to competing local firms and then come back a few months later for a substantial raise, often at the cost of the new employee who had replaced them or fellow department members raises. There have been several new start up firms that came exclusively from our Irvine location. Whole teams have left at once with no warning and in each instance department managers have left, leaving their longtime employess to basically start over with new department heads. In several instances employess with 20+ years at the firm (or the original firm TKC that was purchased by Stantec) were fired or laid off because the new department managers wanted to clean house and bring in their own people. The worst part being many of these new startups took new projects and contacts with them and were immediately succesful because Stantec Irvine Senior Management flat out refused to do that type of work even though it was capable of doing it and would have lead to huge revenues.
