Pros

Benefits with company stock options and a great, close-knit family of co-workers within the office. Various functions and activities allowed for weekend bonding and client net-working. Work rarely flowed-over and interrupted with weekend downtime. Generous $/km when using your vehicle on job.

Cons

Company management was frustrating - Stantec was overly concerned with smaller company acquisitions (2 or 3 companies a year) and was dealt with the unfortunate circumstances of closing smaller offices for the benefit of cost-cutting (basic economics right?). Business classes or profit centres broke office unity and made broadening your experience under other disciplines within the Stantec umbrella difficult. Project management seemed lazy and unsupportive at times with their abbreviated workdays (9-3:30 or sometimes earlier). Always a threat to being released if an ideal chargeability wasn't met and pay-hikes were in minute increments and were never seemed befitting to the effort you put into your job.

Pros

Stantec very often hires college level students when others aren't which is great for people just starting out their career. Opportunity to get interesting jobs if you are willing to move for an extended period of time.

Cons

Competitive internal structure makes it difficult to participate in multi-office/multi-discipline work when everything is about the bottom line. No promotions, or career advancement that I can see. Your interests are not really taken into account unless they align exacty with department objectives.

Pros

The people are great, the holiday and vacation schedule is wonderful, great healthcare coverage and benefits. This is a growing company who cares about their employees.

Cons

Being such a large company, there are a lot of steps for everything you want to get done. You also work with a lot of different offices around the world and sometimes cultures clash, which can be frustrating for the workplace.
