Pros

Stantec is a great company to work for, and offers benefits and a shareholder program. The company has a presence in all provinces of Canada and conducts work in multiple streams for the construction, urban development and green energy sectors. I worked at the technician level, part-time and felt valued and a part of the team. I had a contract position with another company and the management accommodated me in scheduling between contracts. The company is expanding and seems to offer growth to employees and has a warm work atmosphere.

Cons

I only worked part-time for a short period so I didn't have the chance to observe any cons worth mentioning.

Pros

Stantec is a good place to work with a vibrant, energetic culture, and plenty of opportunity to learn, and progress on your chosen career path.

Cons

As with most engineering consulting companies, there is little job security when the market slows. There is also a lack of consolidation and consistency in work practices and roles / responsibilities across departments.
