Interviewed Mar 2010 in Ottawa, ON (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
I had met an employee of Stantec at a mutual friends place. I was still a student, so I started asking him about his job, and if he liked his job. After a good talk he told me, "send me an e-mail when you are looking for a job."
So, closer to graduation, I sent him an e-mail asking if he knew of any positions opening up in my preferred field. He forwarded my e-mail to the manager of a department looking for an junior. I had a phone interview with the manager, and shortly after that I was given a job offer.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Submitted resume and was contacted within two days. Interview was set up for the following week. They were very impressed with my resume and were eager hear my story. I was surprised that I pretty much led the interview myself, annswering all of their questions before hand.
I office was quite nice, but seemed pretty empty for the time of day.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Applied online and got an on-campus interview. The lady doing the interview is from HR department. She's very friendly and told me upfront that there will not be any technical questions. So all questions were behavioral like why do you want to do co-op? why Stantec? Definitely should research the company before the interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
Sent my resume, cover letter and reference list via Craigslist, also posted resume on company website. Received a call from office manager within one week to come in for the interview with no additional phone screening from HR.
Interview was with four Project Mangers including office manager in the conference room. All interviewers were friendly and seemed to have questions already written down ahead of time. Most questions were standard such as "tell me about yourself", or "what did you do at your previous company." Other questions were more technical and directly related to the job. Also had an evaluation form where I was asked to rate my communication and organizational skills on a scale from 1 to 10. Overall, interview lasted about one hour.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
There were a total of 3 interviews. Phone interview first, followed by two in person interviews with two different managers. The interviewers were cordial, punctual and pleasant. The interviews were somewhat lengthy in time and covered all of my working experience. The hiring process was lengthy as well with an intense background check. The background check consisted of checking references (listed and un-listed), obtaining your driving record from the WA State DMV, and possibly even checking your credit reports.
Negotiation Details
I was hired on a temporary basis (a 3 month probation period) at the beginning of the Great Recession. Therefore, I was unable to negotiate anything. All salaries had been frozen. Employees were being laid off and offices were being closed.......so I believe my experience may have been skewed slightly.....

Interviewed Aug 2007 (took a day)
- There were two 1:1 interviews. Each took under 30 minutes.
- Very friendly office, laid back yet focused work environment.
- Management was seemingly unconcerned about qualifications, skills and accomplishments.
- Management appeared unprepared for the interview, it was questionable whether resumes were being read ahead of the meeting time.
- Management was more concerned about skills and qualifications outside the specialized job title applied for.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
- I was not able to negotiate. Management was disorganized, such that several people told me different stories about what position I was being considered for, what my value was to the company, and whether or not I was able to negotiate (the process was opened, painfully dragged out, and fizzled due to lack of communication and leadership). At one point I was told that anyone could do my job, and I am in a specialized field of science. Be prepared to respond (or not) to disrespectful comments.
- Do not wait for the offer you desire. If you do not get it, move on - there may be double-talk, so waiting for this company to make a decision may put an employee in a difficult position. It is best to always be looking for another job, a better offer, and to take it if it is a desirable one.
- Stay on your toes. Be aware of double-talk, and state your case clearly, with examples, as to why you deserve the salary you desire. Before stating the figure, allow management to throw out a number so you can tell the person or people with whom you are negotiating if the salary is in your desired range.
