Pros and cons of working at Stantec Australia
Pros
The best things about working at my company are the culture and the level of support that I receive from colleagues, and the Graduate program that Stantec offers.
Working at Stantec provides me with various opportunities to learn and grow with multidisciplinary teams.
The culture in the office is inclusive and diverse. There are many cultural events held in the office, building a great base for staff to have fun and be social.
Good team; I like the work that I do, and I have reasonable working hours as a grad, absorbing a lot of experience and knowledge early in my career.
It is not just about finishing the workload at the end of the day but also focusing on other development such as leadership and public speaking by joining DPG and Toastmasters.
Cons
The situation of my team overall is not good, and they have limited work to provide to graduates.
WFH culture has gotten more in๏ฌexible. And the associated annoyance of working in consultancy is ๏ฌlling out timesheets
Lack of recognition for work that I do and being overlooked for opportunities that other grads get.
I would like to work on different disciplines. For example, someone from the transport team working with the traffic or Geotech people to do some of their day-to-day work.
The salary for this position is ok but not ideal, especially if you are living in a big city like Sydney.
