Business Outlook
Pros
The staff and leadership at the local levels are awesome. They are talented individuals who foster creativity and career growth. They challenge you to continuously improve and innovate. The firm culture is fun, and feels like a community of people working towards quality design.
Cons
The overlay of corporate bureaucracy is terribly burdensome. It gets in the way of doing the work our clients pay us to do. It often feels like the services and processes that Stantec cooperate try to implement to improve productivity simply detract from the goals of the design firm. The IT system, the HR system, even the hiring system are all impersonal, electronic and cold. The human aspect of running a business is definitely lost on Stantec corporate.
