Pros

Good colleagues. Stantec a whole (globally, especially Canadian leadership) very positive

Cons

The difficulty in the UK is the underlying culture is still MWH. Heavy framework focus, little appreciation of smaller projects. Systems and procedures heavy. Not nimble. Relatively poor approaches to integration (especially planning acquisitions) leading to senior resignations. Culture of billing everything to clients, even admin and internal management. No timesheet options/codes other than absence/billable which is arguably unethical.

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.
