Gensler Architectural Designer interview questions

WORST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. I first got scheduled for a phone interview where the interviewer showed up THREE hours late with zero remorse about it as if I was wasting his time. I was then scheduled for an in-person interview in their NYC office where the two HR hiring managers were an HOUR late. Mind you, they knew I had just flown from afar to come just for this interview. When I finally met with the two of them, they were EXTREMELY rude and condescending towards me. The two of them were giving off mean girl high school bully vibes and staring at each other with each response I gave. They subtly belittled me for the college I went to, noting that it was not an Ivy League. Not sure why that mattered to them or why it was even brought up. I felt so uncomfortable throughout this process that I couldn't believe professionals in such a well-known and prestigious company would act like this. They also looked at my portfolio and judged it without any architectural background themselves. I was also supposed to meet with the first person I had talked to originally on the phone for a technical follow-up the same day after the HR interview. I was told he was unavailable to meet with me. I usually never write reviews like this but I have never felt so disrespected in my entire life. Don't waste your time with this company.

I applied in September, had the first interview in October and the second one in November, followed by a skills assessment. Got an offer by the end of November to start in January. The team was very nice throughout the process! During both the interviews the team first introduced themselves and then started to ask questions about me. The first interview was about getting to know me and my professional path, and why I want to work there. The second one was about my portfolio I went through a couple of projects and the role I played in every team that carried out each project.
