I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler in Jun 2015
Interview
I was being recruited out of state so I had 3 phone interviews. First was head of HR, Second was studio leadership and management, 3 or 4 people I think. Third was with studio director and design director. They couldn't discriminate on any sort of physical basis because they never even saw my face until after they had already offered me the job. Interviews were very professional, thorough and cordial. No complaints

1 interview + many follow-up calls. HR and the office that you apply to might be in different locations. 45-60mins interview was quick and efficient, and they have many professional teams to discuss different questions that you have.

The interview with HR is friendly. They gave a lot of information about the office. It is a bit slow to get an interview scheduled with them since they have a lot of candidates.
