    What’s it like working at Stantec Australia?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees appreciate the interesting and complex projects at Stantec Australia, along with supportive colleagues and good work/life balance with flexible working arrangements. The company offers broad international exposure and access to a global knowledge pool, making it an engaging place to work on large-scale engineering projects.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including inconsistent management with limited accountability, heavy workloads with expectations of uncompensated overtime, and limited career progression for long-term staff. Additionally, salaries may be less competitive compared to similar consultancies, and the organisation can be bureaucratic with hierarchical structures that slow decision-making.

    People are great, renumeration is mediocre
    The good thingsThe atmosphere is fantastic, and team leads are supportive. Interesting work. Fieldwork overtime pay is good.
    The challengesSalary tends to be mediocre compared to similar sized Perth consultancies. This leads to a pretty high turnover rate of low-mid level staff, and they seem more willing to pay a new hire a much higher starting rate than invest more in current staff. The work is 40 hour weeks, and staff frequently burn out. Compared with competitors who usually work 37.5 hour weeks, this also adds 3 extra weeks of work a year, making the salary even less competitive. Upper management refuses to budge on this.

    join at your own risk
    The good thingsLooks good on the outside
    The challengesIncompetent people who have risen to top management have no clue on business operations and run the company like a bank. High levels of staff frustration due to drafting work outsourced to India with no supervision, extremely poor quality of work. Junior staff who recently hired keep enjoying promotions while staff who have been in the company for long time are ignored and zero career advancement. Expect to work very long hours with no compensation. High staff turnover as they get burned out. Pay all interstate trips with your own money, no budget for travel, training, courses, the list goes on and on.
