Pros

The larger firm has the right philosophy overall - “People First” , “Do the Right Thing”, etc. and from what I hear, other offices within Stantec are great places to work- great projects, good design, stable leadership, nice culture and true integrated design projects.

Cons

Infighting amongst the local senior leadership and the number of principals that have come and gone in a very short period of time has resulted in a very unstable, high-anxiety environment to work in, causing it very difficult to keep talented staff. Given the fact that New York City is a very competitive market for architecture and design services the opportunities are enormous but with the internal issues those opportunities are lost.

Pros

Good pay, decent office environment

Cons

Sweat shop mentality. This was a really good company 10 years ago but like most EP's, they are becoming a faceless corporation that is only chasing profit. They preach work life balance but dont practice it. Most leadership is non-Canadian.
