I applied online. I interviewed at Gensler (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Applied 5 to 7 times across 4 years. The HR keep rejecting my application for god knows why!
I believe I had a well structured strong CV with high-end projects with over 9 years experience. I even went the extra mile and tried to call the HR multiple times to inquire about what's wrong.... but always not available or away (obviously just poor HR who didn't want to engage with anyone. Yet to say, they have time to post ridiculous ads on Linkedin about engaging the community)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gensler (New York, NY)
Interview
Casual setting--spoke with 2 employees, both very nice and welcoming. Felt more like a conversation than an interview which was nice
Hard to tell how well the interview went--meaning it was hard to read how they felt at the end of it, but it seemed to go smoothly

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Gensler
Interview
I applied online on the Gensler Careers website. About a month later, I was contacted to set up an initial phone interview for the following week. That meeting was great, it was more conversational than interview like. Right after the call ended, I was set up for an in-person interview the next week. Again, that went well - the conversation was good and it was about an hour long. I was told I would be contacted soon for a job offer or not. That is where it went negative. I followed up several times with no response. I finally recieved a reply over a month after my interview that they will check my status. Another few weeks later, I had no response again so I assumed I was rejected. The interviews themselves were easy and enjoyable. However, the hiring process was lengthy and disorganized compared to others I went through, that took a total of 2-3 weeks. Unexpected of a company rated highly and unfair to interviewees.
