Pros

Great employer benefits for an architecture firm.

Cons

The work environment was the main reason I looked for another job. Sycophants were rewarded while they had no valuable knowledge to bring forth to the projects.

Pros

Projects and travel. Sky is the limit to personal challenges. This is a company promoting self-starters and high-achievers. If you’re looking for a good challenge, this is the place for you!

Cons

Pay and job growth. If you’re not a self-starter or unsure about what your career goals are, Gensler does not do a good job growing people. Neither do they pay very well. Lots of work, not much in return.

Pros

Amazing variety of projects, good clients and nice offices. Great skilled people from different sectors, good retirement plan and medical insurance.

Cons

Really bad salaries, and very low annual increases too. They ask for the extra mile, but they don't reflect the new positions with new salaries. Been associate to the firm do not reflect nothing in your salarie.
