      Pros

      Gensler provides a solid career bedrock for the ambitious individual looking to make their mark on higher profile projects nationwide. I greatly appreciate the high expectation everyone is held to, as it fosters an environment where everyone is willing to go to bat and give their all for their fellow coworker. Benefits package is second to none, compensation is the best in the region, and the opportunity to be an employee-owner is an underrated bonus to those looking to make a longer-term commitment. Project demands are high, but for a world class organization with a stellar reputation they should be. Gensler sources great talent and expects that talent to deliver, as they should. Co-workers are friendly and welcoming.

      Cons

      Drawing standards and expectations can vary from region to region, which is unexpected for a company that utilizes talent from numerous regions on each project. I expected that things like standard details and notation style would be consistent across the board, minimizing chances for error. There can be too much focus on DEI initiatives, but thankfully at the Dallas location this is somewhat de-emphasized. Work/life balance can be strained, although thankfully the pressures of the workplace do not tend to extend past the walls of the office.

      Pros

      Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

      Cons

      Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
