Pros

If you take the initiatives, there is room to grow your career. Management is supportive of new directions you propose that will improve the system, but you have to work hard to setup new directions/practices and get others to buy in.

Cons

This is not a typical 8-5, five days a week job. There is expectation you have to pull in extra hours during weekday and weekends to get the job done and meet project deliverables.

Pros

They offer good health insurance

Cons

Less than a month after my engineering firm was bought by Stantec everything started going downhill. We lost half of our architect clients, as Stantec is an A/E firm and we were now seen as competition. The individual managing the principals at our firm was now an architect and had no idea how the engineering world worked. Our billing rates went up and as such, our fees did as well, making our remaining clients frustrated. As an employee you are given a utilization target and if you fall below it then you are chastised. They fire engineers who have been with the firm for years, and promote accountants that are brand new to the firm, as the only thing that upper management cares about is making money, not creating a good product. There is no loyalty as your bosses have no say anymore and are only waiting their mandatory 3 years in order to get their big payout at which point they will leave
