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.

Pros

Association with a potential world class Consulting Engineer. There are many offices having excellent resources. There is no engineering that could not be performed by the talents of Stantec staff. Stantec Engineering Standards are high and considerable energy has been invested in providing drawing and report templates to preserve those standards.

Cons

Many small offices operating independently, making no effort at integration or devloping synergy. There is an overwhelming tendency for each office to work independent of other offices. This is partly the result of a suite of "URS-style" acqusitions, but more motivated and sustained by an accounting and management system that is too focussed on the smallest units of operation. The amount of Company sponsored or sanctioned internal and external training is the least this reviewer has experienced with two other comparable organizations. It is virtually is non-existant. There is no cohesive company wide management training other than canned, generic Webinars completed individually. Many offices have no, on-site HR personnel.
