Pluspunten

easy to get hired good basic work experience basic expectations decent benefits ok salary as long as times are good good for a starting gig out of college/university, a nice "real job" to pad your resume with

Minpunten

boring repetitive work resistant to change nearly to the point of being luddites 30% of your time will be spent working, the other 70% spent meticulously documenting what the task request was and justifying why the requirement were technically fulfilled precisely so as to place as much responsibility as possible on someone else. office politics your direct managers do not have the courage to fire you and so the tough decisions will be deferred to people to whom you are nothing more than a number in a spreadsheet i would not recommend saying at this place for any longer than 3 years

Pluspunten

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Minpunten

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.
