      Pros

      Nice Office, Cool Office Events, Multiple Office Locations, Flexibility

      Cons

      Pros at workplace favoritism. Way too much internal drama. Loves to provide opportunities and promotions to those who are all about talking the talk. Lack of mentorship and leadership. Why join the largest design firm in the world if you can't get people to turn for advice?

      Your Experience At Gensler Depends on Your Role

      Pros

      Great colleagues. Wonderful people. If you are a designer and you know the right people, it's a great place to be.

      Cons

      You are siloed into either being a designer or a technical person, so you will not gain well rounded experience. Unfortunately, technical people get less recognition. The administrative staff even less so.
