Disappointing Workload Management and Compensation

Environmental scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Worked with some genuinely good and knowledgeable people. - Gained valuable experience and exposure to a variety of projects.

Cons

- Team leads and management often showed favoritism, which negatively affected morale and opportunities within the team. - Workloads were frequently excessive, and repeated requests for assistance often went ignored until employees became burned out or started leaving. - Employee support and resource allocation felt reactive instead of proactive. - Compensation and salary increases were disappointing. Even after receiving positive feedback and praise for strong performance, obtaining something as small as a 2% raise felt unnecessarily difficult. - Overall, the work-life balance and recognition did not match the expectations associated with a company of Stantec’s size and reputation.
