Pros

There is no pros to this company.

Cons

Everything else. Do yourself a favor and do not work for this company. If your company is being bought out by Stantec leave as soon as you can. This company will buy out other companies and then let them die on the vine. Corporate sabotaged bids and then blamed the senior principles for not bringing in work. The different business centers all compete and hold back work from each other. All the company cares about is utilization.

Pros

Great benefits package, including 401K matching and maternity leave

Cons

Success is focused on utilization vs. dollars which creates an environment to treat employees like a data report rather than focusing on how optimizing employee strengths and encouraging growth. Unfortunately the former encourages an environment of back stabbing and high turnover.

Pros

You will make lots of friends. When I joined 12 years ago it was a very good company but in recent years it lost the energy.

Cons

Lack of innovation, too many dinosaurs who think they know everything. Management doesn't care about you or your career, everything is just a formality to comply with regulations and compete in the market.
