Pros

The company itself is great, if you are a technical person. Had lots of resources and benefits. Good culture. Good people.

Cons

The Marketing team, and specifically the New England Regional Marketing team, is run by people who are there because they got in at the right time, not because they should be qualifications wise, and you will never pass them based on your hard work or merit. They treat you like adult daycare. You are overworked to the bone and in return you get very very little with zero growth opportunity, recognition, or small allowances to show you apprecoation. I have been there a while now and have seen some great team members leave because of frustration over this and I will ultimately leave because if this too. Further, at the management level, which is really sad, there is a lot of gossip, backstabbing, lying. I haven't been directly involved but I can't believe what I have seen/heard. It's unreal. So unprofessional. Again this seems to be very much isolated to Marketing and specifically in the NE region.

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.
