I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler in May 2017
Interview
Had a bumpy time actually getting an interview due to Gensler having to reschedule 3 times. Interview itself went really well. Met with a studio director and what I would call a market specific lead for about an hour and a half. Interview itself was pretty straight forward. I told them about my experience and it all seemed like a great fit. They are trying to expand into a new market for the specific office and were looking to grow a team with a specific set of skills and experience.
A few days after the interview, I got a call from HR saying they thought it would be a great fit. Unfortunately, the salary they offered wasn't in the ballpark.
Your interview for the Job Captain position at Gensler likely focused on showcasing your leadership and organizational skills, as well as your ability to work collaboratively within a team. Gensler, being a global architecture and design firm, would have been interested in your experience managing design teams, your understanding of the architectural process, and how you ensure project success from concept to completion. They may have also asked about your technical knowledge, communication skills, and how you handle client relationships, as these are crucial for a Job Captain role. What was the experience like for you
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
typical one hour interview, asking to present portfolio. nothing different. easy. Asked when I am available - offer a week later. Onboarding and HR were super helpful and to the point - very efficient.
Application screening took forever. Interviews were performed multiple times and studios that were interested in finding out about the applicants were sometimes not in one meeting. Nothing special as an architectural firm interviews.
