I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
Gensler has recruitment portal on their website that every candidate has to fill in an application and post portfolio sample. Suggest to select your best work and limit the file sizes to meet their max. Although the interview was very friendly and the interviewers seemed very nice, it was very structured and professional. It was one the best job interview experience I have ever had.. very respectful, punctual and they really take time to get to know you, your abilities and your goals.

Question 1
Apart from those usual questions asked at an interview (self-introduction, strengths/ weakness etc), some of the questions I found interesting are:
- What are the challenges you have at your current job and how do you deal with it?
- What motivates you and how do you keep yourself inspired?
Thank you for providing feedback on the interview process in our Los Angeles We have been working hard to ensure that the candidate experience is a positive one and that our interviewers are well prepared. We are excited that you had a positive experience. Welcome to Gensler!

Amazing interview with the hospitality team at Gensler. They were thoughtful, warm, professional but very friendly. In the end, I was not a right fit for the role but we remain in touch.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (London, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
Was strange. Was with a group - the director was disengaged and clearly working on other things and not paying attention. Was a good through interview which sounded promising but was ghosted afterwards with no feedback. A bit unprofessional in all honesty.
