Pros

Plenty of parking since we're 80% smaller now. Remodeled office has cozier feel. Great place for beginners as low rate employees get most of the work. Room to grow. Lots and lots of room.

Cons

Creative project accounting methods - work on over-budget projects is charged against profitable projects and other clients. Guess it all comes out in the wash. It helps if you are related to your supervisor or manager. Totally inadequate and pointless annual review process. Deterioration and reduction of staff over the years equals reduced capabilities, narrowed focus. Quality engineers and managers have been let go along with ability to win projects. No local IT, marketing or HR support. Superfluous staff who seem to have no real function.

Pros

Not many pros to mention. Flexible hours were about the only one. All the pros were taken away when Stantec bought the company.

Cons

Stantec has a very proficient way of lowering moral to new lows and then taking them even lower. The company is completely guided by profit numbers. The people who get promoted to department managers are those that have the quality of treating others like dirt. Hourly employees were "advised" to work overtime and not show it on their timecards. Stantec buys companies, tears them apart, and many good people will lose their jobs because their salaries are too high.
