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.
