Business Outlook

Pros

Offices located in nearly every major city.

Cons

Purely an acquisition company, from our offices experience. Quality of work takes a back seat to profit margins. Prior to being integrated into Stantec, we had upper management come in and sell us on the idea of sharing resources (people, expertise, workload) with other offices. Since we've become a part of Stantec, we've realized the current standard operating procedures doesn't promote office partnerships, but in fact discourages it. Meaning if one office is struggling to find work, it's in the best interest of another office to hoard all the work or they could find themselves in the same situation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Diversified business sectors, pleasent work environment (well at least outside Alberta) Good employee review and employee goal setting process. Engagement in remote communities. Poor business development and tracking processes. No CRM in place. Slowly establishing an Aboriginal Engagement focus.

Cons

Poor communication of corporate goals across all sectors Poor integration of Project Management processes across all sectors. Very poor Project Management Framework system. (not top tier at all) Poor communication and siloed thinking across sectors and business units Poor representation of women and ethic minorities in Senior Management (99.99% of the EVP and SVP level are middle age white men) Old boys network keeping some 'dead weight' around that should have been culled. Too many VP's and 'bosses' brought on through acquisitions. Poor oversight of key EVP's who are kingdom building.
