Pros

The benefit structure at Stantec is good in terms of health insurance, 401K matching, and stock option matching. They have a wellness program to earn reductions in annual health insurance premiums, which is easy to participate in. Overall, in the Sacramento office there is flexibility in setting work schedules and some autonomy is granted in day to day work activities.

Cons

While autonomy can be a good thing, too much can leave employees feeling isolated. Stantec as a whole lacks focus on what the company's identity truly. Each office is left to organize themselves differently. The Sacramento office has local leadership that does not connect itself well to it's work base.

Pros

Hybrid Work and access to useful engineering tools

Cons

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.
