      Pros

      You have the benefit of having Gensler on your resume

      Cons

      They expect you to chase the studio directors around like toddlers. You have to act as an EA without EA pay. There is a very clear class system at work here and they let administrative staff know they’re at the bottom. Any small mistake will get you terminated in these roles. They Pavlov the architects who mind you, can be working till midnight, with the smallest and most bs incentives

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
