Pros

Stantec offers a wide variety of architectural project types and disciplines, great employment benefits and a fair salary for its workers.

Cons

The size of the company plays a detrimental role in the overall organization of the projects, dissipating the workflow into a very messy dynamic. The leadership roles are affected by having way too much work, and doing mediocre project management at best for every project; consequently, the lower-ranked designers are hired in waves and laid-off unfairly months later. Needs work on professionalism from the leaders, and a sharp stop on favoritism that overshadows the real lack of talent.

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.
