Pros

-Stable Paychecks -Challenging and Intellectually Stimulating -Good Management

Cons

Unpredictable Schedule (that's expected) Probably more than 2000 hours in the year is expected including field work. Wasn't a problem for me but that is a lot for most people. Poor compensation for standby days which there too many. -There wasn't a clear progression for me besides specializing in geomatics or airbo

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.
