Pros

Plenty of opportunities to gain field experience, knowledgeable senior staff, great place to learn how to do proper drafting.

Cons

Technologists will produce drawings and that is it, there is no opportunity for design experience in this place, they train their technologists as specialized drafters. Management does not acknowledge past experience before Stantec, leading to mediocre pay related to overall years of experience. Very demanding clients resulting in very aggressive deadlines (extensive overtime is almost a requirement there) therefore work/life balance is non-existent. Overall quality of work for local clients has been in a constant decline in the past 5 years, leading to loss of local clients.

Pros

Working as an Administrative Assistant at Stantec involves a wide range of responsibilities and can be highly rewarding for those who are motivated and proactive. The office environment is positive, and colleagues are approachable and collaborative. Being part of a large international organization also brings a strong sense of pride and purpose to the role.

Cons

One downside of working at Stantec is the uncertainty around job security, as organizational restructuring and cost-saving measures can sometimes lead to unexpected layoffs.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
