Pros

Pay is fair and benefits are above average. There are opportunties to work with varied projects since it is a consulting firm. That helps it not be the same thing one quarter to the next--unless you're on a really big project.

Cons

It's not like you're working for one company. Stantec grew by acquisition and it shows. It's more like a network of affiliate companies or one big joint venture that happens to use the same financial system, IT support, and policies/procedures. Many offices hold work close to them and don't spread the opportunties. This is especially true if they specialize in a particular engineering consulting market. It is a public company and the shareholder is king--like any other public company. I came on through an acquired company. The culture we had went through the meat grinder.

Pros

It is a publicly traded firm that is actually a holding company of twenty smaller firms which promotes individual agendas and an unwillingness to share resources if it ostensibly benefits another office and not its own.

Cons

Very fragmented firm. The previous companies that Stantec acquired each retain its own culture resulting in over 100 internal fiefdoms protecting client relationships and willingness to share resources. Its the reason for its underperforming stock price.

Pros

Forward thinking, supportive management, superior employee benefits and work environment.

Cons

Trickle down of management support for professionals is slow to come, often neglected and very changeable.
