Vantaggi

Gensler is a fun, creative atmosphere, lots of learning, and networking opportunities. Being the largest archi-design firm with 1000's of projects, vendors are chomping at the bit to get their foot in the door and speak to you. Very competitive as well, good-natured people. If you're able to maneuver through the process, you should be able to do well.

Svantaggi

I worked at Gensler for several years at one of the larger offices, NY and LA being the largest approx 600 people in these offices pre COVID-19 and got to know the big players and typical office politics of a company this size. So what to expect?? -Lot's of favoritism. -Your hustle means nothing unless studio heads want to acknowledge you. -Becoming an Associate, you may as well hire a PR firm to bang a gong in your name. I've seen people work two years get associates. I also have seen people ten years and suck it up better luck next year, buddy. Its who you know not what you do. Some people may take offense to this, but in the larger scheme, that's the Gensler worker politics. Adapt quickly, sink or swim.

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.
