Pros

The culture that the company advocates for is very nice, but it is only at the surface. Once you get involved, you will soon notice that all of that is for advertisement and clients (on their website), and it is none existent for the staff that actually do the work (architects, engineers, and designers). Stantec likes to identify as an organization that: 1. We put people first 2. We are better together 3. We do the right thing and we are better together

Cons

Upper management is dishonest and makes promises that they forget in a week or two. Unethical and immoral acts are common day experiences and when you present evidence of unethical conduct with emails and documentations you will realize that upper management teams up to hide these acts since it is such a common approach between them.

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.
