Pros

Nothing in favor of the organization as far as financial shared service is concerned.

Cons

-Micromanagement is present, management tries to control every action of the employee, treating employees as robots. - Rules like school are imposed like not logging out without permission, and restricting conversation on the floor. - Harsh and unprofessional language is used by management in one to one meetings. -Leave practices not defined properly and deliberately too much time taken for approval, discussion of personal reason of employee takes place before approval. -No work life balance and no flexibility of work whatsoever, management forces the employees to work for uncompensated hours. -Management is selfish and only thinks about their own comfort zone as far as financial shared service is concerned and treats employees the way they want without following any work ethics. -Permission is required for every action of an employee while in the office. -Employee centric policies of the organization are not being followed by financial shared services. -Department is monopoly of 4-5 people.

Pros

Working as an Administrative Assistant at Stantec involves a wide range of responsibilities and can be highly rewarding for those who are motivated and proactive. The office environment is positive, and colleagues are approachable and collaborative. Being part of a large international organization also brings a strong sense of pride and purpose to the role.

Cons

One downside of working at Stantec is the uncertainty around job security, as organizational restructuring and cost-saving measures can sometimes lead to unexpected layoffs.

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.
