Stantec reviews

Work life balance non existent. Inconsistent application of policies and practices. Burnout, stress is high. Stantec is a challenging company to work for. They talk about their values of putting people first, doing what is right but the reality is quite different. Work life balance is almost impossible to achieve due to unreasonable or last minute deadlines and saying no or not meeting a deadline is clearly not an option. Workloads are through the roof with no additional resources available. Now that Stantec is a global organization, it seems like you have to be “on” almost all the time. Stantec also has inconsistent practices between offices. Some offices are lucky enough to have flexible work weeks so they can work extra hours and take time off in lieu but not everyone is allowed to do this which seems unfair. One of the messages that Stantec preached was about mental health, while not acknowledging that in many instances, they are the cause of people’s stress and mental health issues and burn out.

1. Political environment. 2. No appreciation for hard work. 3. People management is not at all initiated
