Pros

Stantec has a lighthearted office culture with some amazing people. The employees interact with one another which is great for moral. They offer flexible schedules which provides for a solid work-life balance. There is opportunity for software training and field experience. Since they are a global engineering firm, you can work on projects in other states/countries remotely.

Cons

Pay could be more competitive compared to other top engineering firms. Management can sometimes be out of touch with their lower level employees. Since Stantec is growing so rapidly, decisions may sometimes favor investors rather than employees.

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.
