Pros

I am happy to go to work each day because I work with a such talented people, on beautiful, innovative projects for outstanding, appreciative clients. It's a great position to be in.

Cons

It's a large company, so the onus is on the individual to seek out ways to feel connected. With that said, Gensler provides ample opportunities to feel plugged in, if the individual takes advantage of it.

Pros

Networking, side research projects, academically stimulating

Cons

My first week at Gensler I put in 65 hours plus. Working hours we just like school--when you leave work at 5-530 people look at you weird. Most weekends had to come in on Saturday or Sunday to work. Terrible management also!
