      A Glass House Full Of Overworked People

      Pros

      The office is beautiful and once you say you worked at Gensler you can do anywhere. The company is the Ivy League school of the architecture industry.

      Cons

      Employee moral is super low. The company is a mill. Just do your job and shut up. Don’t ask questions. Don’t look for change. Don’t suggest. No one cares and most of the people there are just scared to get chewed up by upper management. It’s some serious butt kissing going on. People are overworked and encouraged to work for free. It’s cut throat. The company knows the Gensler brand is valuable and because of this they pay lower than market rate salaries and pile large workloads on to its employees. If you choose to work there go with an end plan because you are likely to get burned out very quickly.

      Bizarre Management

      Pros

      Nice Office,Some Very Talented Colleagues

      Cons

      Scared (& ultimately soul-less) Managers dominate & micro-manage so much that one learns to keep one's head DOWN. Conflicted messages and the inability to be truthful make up the communication strategy. For a while, it may seem like a great place to work, but the facade doesn't hide the paranoid & (many say) quasi-psychopathic character of this company's leadership.
