      Pros

      Bigger company with engaged leadership. Many opportunities for personal growth. The culture is diverse and allows for individual employees to be themselves, be entrepreneurial and to succeed in their own way. Very supportive.

      Cons

      To maintain consistency and control, there are some processes that are rigid - for example within finance, HR and IT. Really though, Stantec runs a pretty tight operation, so for corporate services to function, there has to be a rigorous standard. It is not a strike against Stantec that there is some rigidity. It is the nature of larger firms and Stantec is similar to others of it's size in the industry.

      Unexpected Pluses and Minuses

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Since the company is an aggregate of acquisitions, there is a lot of intra-office pride and friendly inter-office competition outside of corporate financials, e.g. health/fitness and sustainability. Stantec does a decent job integrating its acquisitions to feel loyal to the company, although many of the policies are difficult to find or understand. At 14,000 employees (as of Summer 2015), Stantec has varied resources in both operations and support roles. Stantec also has a $1 million research & development budget, for projects whose sponsors apply for funding. Stantec, being ISO 9001 certified, has a strong commitment and set of policies for project quality and procedures, resulting in polished work processes that positively impact the ultimate work products.

      Cons

      The nature of a big company is that it may be slow to process administrative tasks. What is special about this company is that the org. chart is extremely confusing. There are many technical administrative titles, and each Business Center (financial operating unit) reports to both a Geographic leadership structure and a Business/Practice/Sector leadership structure. While the nature of A&E consulting is low margins, an impersonal demand for profits and focus on minutiae often discourage employees who put forth their best efforts.
