Stantec reviews

This company promotes narcissistic individuals into management. The Surrey office suffered for years under tyrannical leadership that created a very toxic and demoralizing environment. Management was abusive towards staff with lots of pressure to bill clients aggressively in order to inflate utilization rates. Upper management turned a blind eye and let this go on for years and did nothing about it despite a long list of very unhappy staff that left for less toxic environments. A similar management style has spread to the Burnaby office. Beware. Avoid Stantec Vancouver also as management there are unscrupulous. Do not work at this company unless you want to ruin your career. An absolutely horrible work experience and environment.

The marketing and communications management team employs a "good old girl" network. The relationships at the top are not only insidious, but unfair. There is an environment of feeling like you are in high school which can be extremely disheartening. Those promoted to leadership roles achieve this because they are liked - not because they actually have merit or skill. Outside of Stantec, these "un"professionals would never rise to their level of success at this organization. That does NOT bode well for the department. If you want to move up or grow, or be respected for your contributions, find another place to work.
