Great Place to learn, upper positions based on popularity not skill or work ethic

Pros
The education and learning opportunities are fantastic, the large network of offices means that there is a lot of knowledge sharing. The majority of the people at Gensler are great to work with and there is a strong sense of family and community among the "workers".
Cons
Upper management is a bit of a popularity contest and it is a bit top-heavy right now. while there is room to grow career wise, because the firm is so big, it is hard to make a difference. If you want to suceed and make it to the higher ranks, dont worry about actual work ethic or performance, you are better off socializing as its not about what you know, its who you know.
