Pros

Good holiday schedule and OK benefits. The company also has good community outreach efforts.ability to work remotely.

Cons

After the merger, your design leadership will loose focus on the local market, your resources will be spread out to other offices in the organization. The gradual removal of the personal factor within your office will drive talented staff to competition. Business management model is bottom line driven and much focused on profitability.

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.
