Do you enjoy short term thinking and many levels of bureaucracy?

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a large enough marketing machine to ability to bring in significant and interesting projects. And collaboration between offices, while in need of improvement, seemed to be increasing over time.

Cons

Being a large, publicly traded company always focused on keeping the stock price up every quarter, decisions are very top-down, and reflective of short term thinking. I felt it was not reasonable business model for a company providing professional services. The top down decisions most often seemed extremely out of touch, and often added additional layers of red tape that were a distraction and took time away from actually providing the professional services for which the company is paid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good holiday schedule and OK benefits. The company also has good community outreach efforts.ability to work remotely.

Cons

After the merger, your design leadership will loose focus on the local market, your resources will be spread out to other offices in the organization. The gradual removal of the personal factor within your office will drive talented staff to competition. Business management model is bottom line driven and much focused on profitability.

Poor company with worst management

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing at all. No positives.

Cons

Poor pay for senior engineers. No work appreciation. Typical 60-70 hour work weeks for all engineers at all levels. Mistakes in paychecks/direct deposits. Very incompetent upper management. As a result Stantec does not have many projects.
