Pros

The individuals within the teams have all the tools to do a great job.....if only they were allowed to.

Cons

Stantec lacks a positive work environment, with low morale across teams. There is a pervasive culture of drift, projects and priorities often feel directionless, and the "really high" levels of leadership rarely provides clear/any guidance. Entrepreneurial spirit is stifled by an excessive level of bureaucracy, making it difficult to innovate or take initiative. Overall, the organisation feels rigid and slow-moving, with little room for proactive, creative work.

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.
