Pros

Very good work enviroment and installations

Cons

Projects Managers are undervalued. They aren't able to properly do their job mainly with clients. Also they are imposed with workers (drafters or engineers) that are not qualified, and required project development resources are not provided to the project managers

Pros

Lots of different projects to learn from and projects are often unique. As an EIT I did not find that I was plateauing or getting stuck in a repetitive position. The office atmosphere was fantastic, the vast majority of my coworkers are positive. Hours are flexible (to an extent) depending on position/senority, which is almost a requirement these days.

Cons

I began working at Stantec after graduation and found that the project managers often worry about their budgets more than training new staff - many times I wouldn't be able to work on a project because of budget issues. Workload can be highly variable. Some days are very fast paced, and others very slow. Some tasks (field inspection in particular) are largely trial-by-fire. As with most large companies, upper management is extremely disconnected from the actual work and often impose bizarre and/or unattainable restrictions.

Pros

Big company with good benefits. There are so many project types and people that lead to a lot of opportunities.

Cons

Big company means many layers of management and beurocracy. While you many have a direct supervisor at your local office, there may be other layers above that and this can lead to conflict.
