Pros

Virtual work environment....allowing employees and management to work where ever. Decent pay, but came from an acquisition so no change so far...

Cons

Collaborative management style created a decision bottleneck amongst senior leaders. I was from one of their many acquisitions and as mentioned in other reviews, the company buys your company....doesn't do anything right away from an org standpoint and then attrition starts to set in and morale goes bad. There is a contracts and compliance group at Stantec that reports through operations that is unprofessional and only knows a portion of what they are doing. When anybody brings up good points with management, that would make them take action on major concerns, they blow if off as not being a concern because they see that part of the business not contributing large enough revenue volume to warrant risk or they make it seem like it's a misinterpretation on the employee's part so they don't have to address the issue. Because so many acquisitions have occurred of smaller businesses they really have managers that are not qualified to be VP's or Senior VP's but are placed into those roles because those are the positions they were in at their 30 person company that was acquired.

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.
