Pros

Benefits with company stock options and a great, close-knit family of co-workers within the office. Various functions and activities allowed for weekend bonding and client net-working. Work rarely flowed-over and interrupted with weekend downtime. Generous $/km when using your vehicle on job.

Cons

Company management was frustrating - Stantec was overly concerned with smaller company acquisitions (2 or 3 companies a year) and was dealt with the unfortunate circumstances of closing smaller offices for the benefit of cost-cutting (basic economics right?). Business classes or profit centres broke office unity and made broadening your experience under other disciplines within the Stantec umbrella difficult. Project management seemed lazy and unsupportive at times with their abbreviated workdays (9-3:30 or sometimes earlier). Always a threat to being released if an ideal chargeability wasn't met and pay-hikes were in minute increments and were never seemed befitting to the effort you put into your job.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
