Pros

The company rewards people who are willing to go out and build their carreer. People that have had issues here often sit around and complain that no one has "given them a chance" or "provided them direction and mentorship". The reality is if you're willing to go out and find your opportunities, they are there and management will support you.

Cons

In a big company it's easy to get overlooked and though leadership may recognize issues it's difficult to solve them immediately due to the size of the firm. It's tough to turn such a big ship.

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.
