I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stantec (Denver, CO) in Feb 2017
Interview
I first met members of the team at my school's career fair. I got to chat with them about the type of work I would be doing and the company culture. After sending a few follow up emails, I was given the opportunity to interview with the company at the building downtown. The interview took place in an empty conference room and lasted around 3 hours. During the interview, a cycle of engineers with the company would come in and talk with me asking various questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were not very technical. As I was only a sophomore in college, I was not expected to know very much. They only wanted to get to know me better as a person and see if I had the potential to work well with others.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stantec (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2018

I applied online and was contacted by email for a phone interview. I gave a list of dates/times and Stantec got back to me after the weekend and informed me I had an interview scheduled in just a few hours. I was very annoyed at being given such short notice because I had no time to prepare. All of the people I coordinated with through email seemed very rushed and annoyed as if I was inconveniencing them by applying and setting up an interview, and acted as if they hated their lives/jobs. The interviewers as well were very unfriendly and rushed and would not answer more than 2 of my questions. 24 hours later I received a default rejection email from the HR system. This whole process really soured me on ever wanting to work for Stantec.
