Pros

-Great team, great bunch of ppl to work with -Very supportive team and managers

Cons

- No salary raises in two yrs in one PC (profit center), while employees in another profit center get more than one raise in a single year. Management is aware of this and for the last three years has been talking about a salary report that they are working on. Nobody has seen or heard of any such report since then. The attitude is if you dont like what we pay you, you are welcome to leave. As a result I have seen good, hardworking employees go to competitors. - Stantec forces all its employees to use one week of their vacation time during Christmas when the offices close down. I have never before seen a company force its employees to take vacation as and when the company demands. Stantec really needs to revisit this discriminatory policy.

Allowed me to work <40 hr/wk, and keep all benefits (prorated leave). Great coworkers in my office and those I collaborated with throughout North America. Smart, motivated professionals.

Cons

Insufficient support when transitioning a purchased firm into the Stantec way. Lack of corporate incentives for collaboration between offices and disciplines.
