Gensler reviews

Busy office, fast-paced, which I was up for the challenge and I came in with a great-positive attitude to work for Gensler only to lose my soul and be treated horribly. Micromanagement but obvert favoritism. Organization and communication can be a challenge and heavy handed towards Project Admins. DM and Human Resources are not supportive of PC's, which are generally critical and inadequate in communicating. They state that they are available to address any issues or concerns, however, then their quick to write you up and treat you horribly. PC's are disregarded, if there any concerns w/the DM's and it will be brought to your attention, rather than being addressed for better-improved work relationships and treatment. Termination is high at Gensler. Inappropriate DEI that is divisive, creates division, and is wrong to promote at work, which is unprofessional. There is no room for asking for mentorship, you will be ousted if you remotely ask for others outside your studio for direction or support by others. Challenging to maintain a work-life balance as they do not expect you to have a family unless you are on the design team. Project charts should be done by the DM's if you have questions you will be reprimanded for asking, which is why DM's get paid lots of money for and know the logistics. Lots of politics w/DM's, HR, and management and terminations.
