A company's key to success is the trust and support it provides it's employees.

Pros

Stantec is a large company with many resources. At one time in the Phoenix area they were at the top of their field and considered a good place to be employed. They offer a wide array of consulting services to the development community and have maintained a core group of dedicated employees through the years.

Cons

Leadership within the local office seems non-existent at times. Everyone seems to be on their own with respect to their own projects. Differenct departments and their department managers work with their own groups in different ways. The company headquarters in Canada dictates various developmental programs for employees and managers to follow, but local leadership does little if anything to follow up or promote those programs within their groups, except during year-end reviews.

Business Outlook

Pros

The office location and class A rental space, Stantec is recognzed as a large firm with staff having many different skills. Offices are reasonably well interconnected across North America, Co-workers and support staff are professional, dedicated and inventive. Staff will often spend extra time of their own to help complete work without additionalcompensation

Cons

The company as a whole is overly bureaucratic, very tightly controlled with relatively inflexible procedures. As a rule Stantec offers poor internal and no external training. The middle mangementid forced to totally focus on profitability to the exclusion of performing work that would be most beneficial for clients. Middle managementand some upper managment is poorly experienced.
