I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gensler (Washington, DC)
Interview
Very laid back and approachable. Gensler prided themselves on being easy going, personable and “approachable” professionals. Chatted through portfolio, questions were more on interests/strengths rather than experience and portfolio. Pretty straightforward interview, no tricks.

I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Typical architecture interview process that took a few weeks with a series of interviews with various project team members. I felt like things could have moved along faster but overall good experience.
Professional, respectful, friendly, and they are genuinely interested to understand your skills and your goals in your career. Took two rounds of interview. HR was also professional and swift in replies
