      Pros

      Our People: I've never worked (in a 30 year career) with a more collaborative and diverse group of people who truly want the best for each other and our clients, creating and embracing opportunities with resources and support for each unique path. Design Excellence for Our Clients: I came to Gensler for design-excellence and not because I'm a designer, per se, but because I believe in partnership - in the process and in transparent dialogue with the client / team -plus the power of design and how the quality of our work can impact others - the users, the community, and our climate - for the better. The opportunities: they have been limitless.

      Cons

      It's hard to describe the cons of working at Gensler. I'm so very proud of the firm that has supported me with incredible career opportunities that make personal, life-changing goals possible.

      Pros

      Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

      Cons

      Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
