7: Stantec Employee Reviews

Very good company with nice and supportive people around. Easy to balance your life and work with WFH option at Stantec. The only issue is the salary which is a little below the current market.

So many levels of management with no idea who is who

Scientist (Current Employee) - Australia - 7 July 2020

Global company with many confusing job roles, job titles. They love trendy catchphrases and values but it is hard to see them in action. I like my immediate colleagues and team leader but upper management has no idea on how to communicate well and gloss over issues like burnout, mental health and lack of job security - especially during 2020 and coronavirus. They put out reassuring memos and emails about mental health but don't put values in action. Stantec in the Community is a nice initiative and opportunity to give back to the community. There are opportunities to work on interesting projects but you have to ask for them. Consulting has many challenges and this is universal across any consulting company - sometimes very long hours to get the job done when there aren't enough hours left in the project - other times there is nothing on and you are scrambling to find billable work. It is a rollercoaster. If you like this kind of thing and are competitive you can thrive.
