Pros

With quite an extensive career in recruiting and executive search, I now have a platform of 10 years as an employee of Gensler to celebrate. WHAT INSPIRES ME: I have the opportunity of representing accomplished, smart and creative professionals who are “GIANTS” in the world of Architecture and Design. WHAT GIVES ME HOPE: My dedicated colleagues at all levels of our firm, GENSLER, show up with curiosity, expertise, creative solutions for challenging client and community design projects and do so with respect for each other as we collaborate among impactful teams. WHAT IS MY GUIDING LIGHT: Without one ounce of reservation, I can endorse as a fact, that our Gensler culture is loyal to our value of “People First!” Yes, we are an organization of infallible human beings, yet, with my quite extensive runway within the profession of talent acquisition, Gensler continues to astound me with the attitude, behavior, respect and resources that support our shared values.

Cons

Frankly, I have none. Each assignment brings new opportunities, challenges and the unique circumstances to stretch my skills.

Thanks so much for the feedback. We love to hear from our people. You and your colleagues are the foundation of our success. Your words are not only immensely appreciated, but inspiring and full of optimism. You've described our firm so beautifully that we can only wish that more of our colleagues have a similar experience as you. Most notably your calling out that human beings are fallible, but we are always striving to live by our "people first" philosophy and standards. THANK YOU!

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.
