Vantaggi

Work/life balance is amazing. They take staffing and planning very seriously to ensure everyone works exactly 40 hours. And there's paid overtime in the rare event you work more than 40. There is a ton of collaboration across offices. It's pretty amazing how well they do this. Decent bonuses twice a year based on how well Gensler is doing. The caliber of client and overall opportunities are fantastic. Fun happy hours every Friday

Svantaggi

Salary is lower than average and not very competitive. There are a ton of mandatory internal meetings that are always scheduled during lunch. And they consider all to be "donated time" and therefore unbillable. Plus 9/10 times lunch is not provided. Parking is not free and this is was not disclosed during the interview process. Surprise! $100 per month you didn't consider while negotiating salary! Not dog friendly :(

Vantaggi

Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

Svantaggi

Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
