Pros

Can have the opportunity to work with talented engineers.

Cons

Being a part of the Stantec 'marketing' team means nothing more than being a glorified proposal administrator. Being creative and having a personality are seen as negative for this position. There are no opportunities for career advancement and compensation is not up to industry standards. The Southeast team, in particular, is run like a sorority house. I enjoyed working with the local engineers, but any dealings with the marketing higher-ups was like beating my head against the wall. My advice on joining this team - DON'T.

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.
