Pros

With acquisitions, Stantec is reinventing itself. Opportunity. Change. New service lines, jobs, clients. New colleagues. The company is trying to do the right thing both in the industry and internally; working hard to communicate the vision to achieve alignment.

Cons

The rate of acquisitions and hiring means it's not the Stantec of yesterday but discovering who we are today and will be tomorrow. With that comes a lot of change, a lot of "I don't know ... yet", and new gray space where there was once clarity. This can be tiring for managers and staff; and at times feels counter-productive.

Pros

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Cons

Projects are inconsistent in organization and structure (some good some bad). High (and strict) utilization requirements of >93% for entry level and mid level engineers results in overtime with overlapping work loads to avoid any downtime between projects. No development or mentorship strategy around work assignments, the main goal is to keep utilization up. Stantec has been very focused on cutting costs by offshoring, limiting conference attendance, reducing volunteer hours, no tuition reimbursement, multiple layers of approvals to attend in-office CPR training, etc. Very corporate environment and top heavy management with over 240+ “Vice Presidents” currently at the company. Difficult to get raises/promotions besides annual raise. Typical raise is ~3-5% with a good review depending on where your current salary is in relation to the pay range for your career level.
