      Pros

      Benefits were great. Good learning opportunities.

      Cons

      Everything else. Management focused on making you feel good about nothing. Engineers focused on little crap unable to listen. Culture of crushing those below to get ahead.

      Pros

      A large variety of industries make up Stantec, giving you the opportunity to work with specialist outside your typical architecure firm.

      Cons

      The top 5: 1. You will be responsible to get your own work. Yes, EVERYONE. (minus the front desk)The management who used to do that will no longer be responsible for it. Your on your own brother. 2. Utilization. This number will be assigned to you on how directly billable you need to be. Fall below that number and you get a black dot. Seriously. Proposals dont count either. 3. Stantec's fees are very high for clients. Those clients you may have before the merger will find someone else. 4. Redtape. Its long, very long. In a crunch? Need something fixed or installed!? Take a number and wait. Stantec is a public company and is very regimented. If you have a 1 or 2 bosses now, expect 6 to 8. 5. Collaboration. Nope. If you need to have work performed outside your office (aka profit center), prepare to pay. You might as well out source to a 3rd party. Its probably cheaper and more rewarding. Bonus comment: sorry, on a ripper. Obviously, I am un-happy with my aquisition. Stantec destroyed a very beautiful progressive firm for the short gain of the stockholders. Anything exciting about my work and my co-workers is all gone now. We went from 200 employees to 30 in just our office. Not because we are bad business people, BUT because we serviced our firm and other offices. Collaboration does not exist in Stantec. They will nickle and dime you to death. Forget Apple, you are now the GM of architecure.

      Pros

      It's hard to find an ISO 9001 company engineering services company in North America, and Stantec happens to be an exception. The systems and processes are streamlined, information is easy access, and Stantec fare a lot better than their competitors in this area. The functional teams are spectaular and they come together when required, and cut across business units to deliver work of exceptional quality. You would be hard pressed to find this level of dedication in other companies. People are nice, friendly and very helpful. Senior management is approachable.

      Cons

      Things get stick in political limbo-land. Organizational structure is lacking, and needs major rework. They have countless business units that operate independently of others, and often times these units are competing for the same work. The politics is off-putting. There seems to be no hierarchy, and org charts are non-existent. People resort to looking up hierarchies in Teams or Outlook, as everything is so fragmented and chaotic. Oh, and the pay is nothing to write home about, and bonuses do not exist for the entry and mid-level positions. They often have a tendency to post jobs when no vacancies exist; they are fishing for resumes.
