The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (New York, NY) in Apr 2016

Question 1
What type of projects would you like to work on?
Are you interested in DD and CD?
What programs do you use to model/render?
During the Gensler prescreen, the recruiter primarily confirmed my basic information, including my current location, graduation date, visa status, and whether I would require company support for OPT or other work authorization.
They also asked about my interest in the position I applied for, my openness to other related roles, and my potential start date.
The prescreen did not cover my portfolio or technical skills; it mainly focused on gathering background information to determine whether to move forward to the next stage of interviews.
