      Pros

      My office was not a recent acquisition so it is established in Stantec's (constantly changing) policies. There is interesting work, when we win it. The people are for the most part friendly. If you are an underachieving, poor attitude, rarely punctual employee, don't worry about it, because they will waste time, energy, and money on you until you leave voluntarily after providing little to no gain to the company. You can learn a very broad range of skills.

      Cons

      The focus is 100% clients, 0% employees. It is very hard to feel appreciated or valued at this company when the focus all of the time is making money. When people leave and resources dwindle, there are no changes to workload or chased work. They will maintain the same amount of work coming in the door, and you're lucky if it doesn't increase. The main point: there is no commitment to employees at this company. Not even a pretend one. Their salaries are below industry average, and they pay based on location. And they wonder why people leave for the other big firms.

      Pros

      Excellent place to start building your career and gain experience, wonderful people to work with.

      Cons

      Limited opportunities to grow as a professional and stay, poor management skills from supervisors. Biased judgement when evaluating subaltern employees.

      Pros

      -They'll hire anybody! Great for those of us with a shameful GPA and limited extracurricular activities in college. -Fun people to work with (at my location) -They hire a lot of women. So far there's no indication that they're being harassed, either (at my location) -It's very hard to get fired. I'm not saying that you won't get called out for screwing up, but you should feel safe about signing an apartment with a lease.

      Cons

      -Medical insurance coverage is below industry average. You're looking to lose at least ~$100 from each paycheck if you're single (~$200 for married). -They're a giant company without the infrastructure to support it yet. Stantec is currently interested in buying as many Civil Engineering companies they can get their hands on. This means extra paperwork, delayed paperwork, and lost paperwork. -In California, your employment contract is at-will (can be fired at any minute) AND has a 6 month non-competition clause (can't work for a direct competitor for 6 months after leaving). You should be extra sure that you're happy with your job and salary, because you're now a slave to the Stantec system.
