Pluspunten

The health benefits are decent.

Minpunten

The people here are cold and uncaring. Not a single person ever came by my desk and asked how I was doing or showed me proper company procedures, yet they were quick to point out that i wasn't following their standards properly. The environment is dreadful. There's also a revolving door mentality. When it gets a bit busier, this company will poach people from other companies and will fire those same people without notice within months when things slow down. This happens a lot due to the weak management who have serious difficulty getting work. Because of this on-going practice, they have difficulty attracting people. Everyone in the industry is quite aware of their practices. The Markham office has very little work and it's empty most of the time. Not a place I would recommend to anyone unless you like looking for new employment every few months. Scary place if you have a family to support,

Pluspunten

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Minpunten

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.
