Pros

Networking within the firm wide community, educational and enrichment opportunities, great clients and projects - if you're among the chosen who get to work on them.

Cons

Non-billable meetings or seminars nearly every day at lunch, pressure to not report overtime (which you're supposed to get paid for); revolving door of manager level staff who got promoted but then got no support or direction, very cliquish atmosphere - encouraged by management.

Pros

The money is attractive but you do have to fight for it. The "little people" who actually contribute to culture are great but there are only a handful.

Cons

There are way too many co-cooks in the kitchen and not a clear direction from leadership or anyone really.

Thanks for taking the time to share feedback on your experience at Gensler. We appreciate your candor and consider all the feedback we receive. Had you identified which office location you worked out of, we could forward your review to local leadership; however, without a specific location that isn't possible. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
