I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Gensler (New York, NY) in Apr 2011
Interview
I approached directly through their website and within one week I was contacted for an initial interview. I met with two HR managers and it was relaxed and went well. Two weeks later they brought me in to meet with the Studio Director I would be supporting. She was artificially friendly, the type that doesn't listen to people "beneath" her academically or professionally, but seemed like a go-getter type.
After 45 days, I accepted another position with an Investment Firm. I was really excited about Gensler, mainly because they really sold the professional growth and unlimited learning opportunities. Two months into my new job, Gensler called and told me I had to make a decision within four days, knowing my situation. Like a fool, I accepted.
My Interview was Simple and straightforward. They asked a lot of standard questions so come prepared. I did an HR screening first before meeting other coordinators virtually and then I met with the studio leaders.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2023
Interview
Had a phone interview with a recruiter included typical questions; going over experience, salary requirements, etc. Scheduled for 15 minutes, but it took about 30 minutes. It was pretty conversational.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gensler (Baltimore, MD) in Apr 2021
Interview
I interviewed with two other studio coordinators from different locations. They were really down to earth which helped with the interview nerves. They asked simple and basic questions as you would get asked in any other interview. Be sure to have questions for them as well :) . Just reviewed a date for a 2nd interview with the leadership team. Wish me luck !
