Pros

Pretty good benefits Easy going atmosphere Friendly employees and managers Temporary travel or permanent transfer to other offices is possible Bureaucracy is minimal as each office is basically an independent firm.

Cons

Despite being a large company, there is a surprising amount of instability because Stantec is essentially a large number of small consulting firms that occasionally share workers, resources, and policies. This may stem from Stantec growing almost exclusively by purchasing smaller firms. My salary was low. Promises are often made with little follow up.

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.
