Pros

Great colleagues and nice people across disciplines.

Cons

Absolutely baffled by the number of positive reviews I’m reading here. As a current Stantec employee, I’m regularly (weekly) seeing brilliant employees and even entire teams leaving for better opportunities elsewhere. Internally, it’s increasingly feeling like a sinking ship with a constant barrage of overbearing corporate decision-making coming from the top stifling internal teams. Shareholders are the only priority; Stantec’s share price is up ~40% this year alone and has tripled since I joined, while employees are lucky to get a 2% pay rise, if not a pay/promotion freeze. If you’re an ambitious, hard working professional, look elsewhere because you won’t be rewarded here.

Pros

Interesting projects Good people across the board Opportunities to develop and work across the globe Relatively good work-life balance

Cons

Sub-par remuneration compared to equivalent positions in competitors companies. Rapid growth via acquisition destroyed company and office culture and created numerous system integration issues.

Pros

It is a large company so there are a lot of extra non-work groups and teams to join.

Hard to get your voice to be heard.
