Vantaggi

The staff and leadership at the local levels are awesome. They are talented individuals who foster creativity and career growth. They challenge you to continuously improve and innovate. The firm culture is fun, and feels like a community of people working towards quality design.

Svantaggi

The overlay of corporate bureaucracy is terribly burdensome. It gets in the way of doing the work our clients pay us to do. It often feels like the services and processes that Stantec cooperate try to implement to improve productivity simply detract from the goals of the design firm. The IT system, the HR system, even the hiring system are all impersonal, electronic and cold. The human aspect of running a business is definitely lost on Stantec corporate.

Vantaggi

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Svantaggi

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.
