Pros

Great company, staff & colleagues. Upper & middle management are knowledgeable, inspirational, helpful & friendly. Pay is decent. You are given excellent tools & company spares no expense to give you the best. Overall a decent place to spend the first 8 years of your engineering career.

Cons

Training material is inadequate: it takes too long to learn the procedures & leaves too many things to be taught by your colleagues. Job stability is also not very good at all & Workload has very high peaks & very low valleys.

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.
