Great for some, hard for others

Pros

Excellent corporate culture, great portfolio, strong social interaction and better diversity than most companies. Enabling employees to pursue what they want. Really excellent healthcare team, by far the best.

Cons

VOA now Stantec in Chicago is a great company but depending upon the studio you are a part of they struggle with mentor ship. Projects will be passed between 5-6 PM's and lots of details can get lost in the process. People come and go often and those who stay are not the best or brightest.

Pros

Some teams are great to work with/learn from. I worked hard there because I enjoyed the experience and the people I worked with, but could never advance due to politics higher up.

Cons

It's too big to care much about it's employees. A lot of grudge-holding and underhanded internal politics for people to get promoted to senior levels, which is detrimental to retaining post-baby boomer generations.

Pros

I worked a wonderful group of team members who have become friends of mine. We were a little unit that helped and cheered each other on. For that reason, I think the team thrived and created such a great environment to be apart of.

Cons

I worked closely with a group of engineers (I was apart of the admin staff) that were basically bullies. There's no other way around it. They would turn content in late without communicating and would do last minute edits that would push back other deadlines and when a debrief was scheduled, one of the project managers tried to intimate me into not having the meeting. One of them approached me while I was on a conference call and proceeded to lunge at me when I told him that I couldn't talk at that moment but would find him later. After relaying this to my boss (who I thought I could trust), I ended up getting written up and nothing happened to him. The harassment repeated for months without my boss doing anything to stop it and I ended up contacting HR. Three days later I was fired and the reason given was "it wasn't working out".
