      Your Experience At Gensler Depends on Your Role

      Pros

      Great colleagues. Wonderful people. If you are a designer and you know the right people, it's a great place to be.

      Cons

      You are siloed into either being a designer or a technical person, so you will not gain well rounded experience. Unfortunately, technical people get less recognition. The administrative staff even less so.

      Could be so much better

      Pros

      Gensler has an amazing network of coworkers (but you have to dig to find the good ones), there are tons of resources (digital/software/library/otherwise), casual environment that at least tries to be fun.

      Cons

      Really top heavy- after all bureaucracy exists to perpetuate bureaucracy. Most projects are maybe mediocre on good days, but you don't get to see those. Not all opportunities are equally available to all employees. Expectations to work (unpaid) on non-project work.

      uninspiring design culture

      Pros

      Friendly people and good opportunity for those looking to climb the corporate ladder. Nice office and great educational opportunities offered by the company.

      Cons

      Production line style architecture emphasizes business over design. Conformity is paramount and necessary for success. Culturally sterile and uninspiring.
