Pros

Project diversity, lots of opportunity to find groups within firm to pursue interests related to design/profession/workplace culture, compensation package

Cons

Can get lost/buried within the sheer size of the firm, tendency to get pigeon-holed (for better or worse) based on initial/early impressions

Pros

Working with talented, creative people on amazing projects. Feels like a family. People are friendly; those that are hired and turn out not to be usually find a way out, because they can't hack the positive vibe. Very entrepreneurial--if you have a vision of doing something and the ability, Gensler will give you room to try it out.

Cons

Design doesn't pay as well as other industries. Has it's share of office politics--but not as much as others in this industry.
