Pluspunten

The office buildings have large windows which create sunny working spaces. The floors are spacious with good ergonomic working stations.

Minpunten

Poor leadership. Management calls themselves "leadership" which is a title they do not deserve because they lack the skills necessary to lead a team of professionals. A small group of "old boys" call the shots and inflict their backward way of doing things on the rest of the company. They stifle innovative thinking and do not contribute anything of value to a project. They are in fact a drain on a project's budget. The company is too bureaucratic and their management structure and quality process is prohibitively expensive. When profits go down the rank and file are asked to work harder and improve their charge-ability while management spends hard earned dollars at three day get aways to develop the next business plan. The recommendations of those businesses plans is to fire staff in order to reduce costs. Hardly a formula for continued success and growth.

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.
