Pros

If you like a big company that swallows you up, this is it.

Cons

- Clueless leadership, which for some reason doubles-up each regional position so you're not sure who exactly is a decision-maker. - Despite saying they are multi-disciplinary, Stantec is very much an engineering-led practice. If you are not a PE, you will not be promoted. - As a publicly-traded company, everything seems to hinge on money. - Very poor performance during Covid.

Pros

At this point, I cannot think of any.

Cons

Management has little respect for rank-and-file employees. After 22 years with outstanding performance ratings, I was laid off by an incompetent manager, who decided I suddenly had an "attitude problem".

Horrible experience

Pros

Some exciting projects, but poorly managed

Cons

Projects were managed by people who didn't fully understand the work, leading to unrealistic expectations. As a woman, I dealt with many misogynistic comments/actions from managers and colleagues, which was extremely frustrating. HR did little to help in these situations.
