Pros

Many many opportunities and exciting projects. Employee owned business which means profit sharing so you are working for yourself. Very talented co workers

Cons

Nothing that isn't known about other architecture firms; you can work long hours and it can be easy to be overlooked in such a large group of talented people.

Thanks for providing feedback on your experience at Gensler. We value our people and love to hear their perspectives. We especially appreciate your leveling the playing field by identifying those experiences that are common to the architecture and design profession and working in a large firm vs. being exclusive to working at Gensler.

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.
