I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gensler in Jan 2020
Interview
5hr interview with many exercises by category that would evaluate my knowledge on each design field. The first few were useful by last ones too exhausting and unnecessary. The team was really nice and receptive all along.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied to multiple Gensler locations and was contacted by HR from the Los Angeles office for an interview. The interview was less than 48 hours later with 2 employees of the LA office via Skype. The interview was a majority of me going through my portfolio in depth and them asking questions about my previous internship experience at the end. Interview lasted about 45 minutes. I heard back 3 weeks later with an offer letter. Very easy and quick process.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gensler
Interview
I got contacted for an interview at Gensler. I went to their San Francisco office for the interviews. The first round was with three design directors. The interviewers are nice and engaging. The second round interview was with two studio directors. They really helped me understand the culture at Gensler and their experience at Gensler. Also super nice and engaging. In general, I had a great interview experience at Gensler. They made the process simple and direct.
