Pros

Good office hardware. fast computer, big desk. If you have connection with the right people, you can talk all day with your co-workers without doing anything and still get a raise at the end of the year.

Cons

horrible environment for hard-working but quiet people, especially if you are a women. No work life balance at all. Management fires employees to cover their own mistakes. They lay off people when the team actually needs more help.

Pros

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Cons

Projects are inconsistent in organization and structure (some good some bad). High (and strict) utilization requirements of >93% for entry level and mid level engineers results in overtime with overlapping work loads to avoid any downtime between projects. No development or mentorship strategy around work assignments, the main goal is to keep utilization up. Stantec has been very focused on cutting costs by offshoring, limiting conference attendance, reducing volunteer hours, no tuition reimbursement, multiple layers of approvals to attend in-office CPR training, etc. Very corporate environment and top heavy management with over 240+ “Vice Presidents” currently at the company. Difficult to get raises/promotions besides annual raise. Typical raise is ~3-5% with a good review depending on where your current salary is in relation to the pay range for your career level.
