I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gensler (Austin, TX) in Sep 2018
Interview
I met with the director if interiors and another member of staff. Their questions were slightly unrelated to the job as a whole but I appreciated their intrigue. I decided to take more control over the interview and lead with an about me excerpt and then moved on to my portfolio and asked for any questions along the way.

Question 1

Why are you looking for a new job? (I am currently employed)
Why did you decide you wanted to interview with Gensler?
What areas of the design process do you like the most?
overall is good, sharing works and behavior questions to be asked. Average difficulty but they have so many candidates to review, so it's hard to stand out. But it is worth trying as they have great clients.

I had one interview with two team members and was offered an internship shortly after. It was a great experience from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, collaborative culture, and creative energy of the Detroit office—it really affirmed my interest in working in a dynamic design environment.
