Pros
It's hard to find an ISO 9001 company engineering services company in North America, and Stantec happens to be an exception. The systems and processes are streamlined, information is easy access, and Stantec fare a lot better than their competitors in this area. The functional teams are spectaular and they come together when required, and cut across business units to deliver work of exceptional quality. You would be hard pressed to find this level of dedication in other companies. People are nice, friendly and very helpful. Senior management is approachable.
Cons
Things get stick in political limbo-land. Organizational structure is lacking, and needs major rework. They have countless business units that operate independently of others, and often times these units are competing for the same work. The politics is off-putting. There seems to be no hierarchy, and org charts are non-existent. People resort to looking up hierarchies in Teams or Outlook, as everything is so fragmented and chaotic. Oh, and the pay is nothing to write home about, and bonuses do not exist for the entry and mid-level positions. They often have a tendency to post jobs when no vacancies exist; they are fishing for resumes.
