Pros

They do interesting work - I worked in process engineering at one of their Calgary offices, and there was a lot of design work that was directly related to my program. The people were intelligent and hardworking.

Cons

I often felt like I was just a nuisance at the company. They gave me some cool things to do but didn't seem to have much interest in actually teaching me anything or getting me involved on anything other than occasional task. Overall nice people, but not exactly the best place to be an intern

Pros

Excellent coworkers with a wide knowledge and experience base, steady employee retention, rewards ambitious and self-motivated employees with career opportunities, challenging and interesting projects.

Cons

Uncompetitive pay and vacation rates, average benefits, workplace culture was better in the past, inconsistent enforcement of policies between departments. Some policies make Stantec look really stingy and that they don't trust their employees.
