What do you like best about the leadership team?
Their helpfulness is nice to have
Great company to work for
They are fun and collaborative to work with
Their ability to communicate well
Smarter than most managers I have worked with, although that bar isn't set very high.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
There is a latent need for happy and motivated people. Focus more on the people, not only on the prize.
Curbing the bullying on a daily basis.
Review from Admin Dept
Treating administrative staff like they matter, just as much, as technical ones.
Review from Admin Dept
The place is one big Clique. Everyone works in the their departments and only socialize with people in their department. HR's has a large turnover and they seem out of touch with people.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
The annual benefits and vacation time
The bonus twice a year.

Bonuses and the profit share plan
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am paid less than coworkers who have less experience and education than me (I'm male, so it isn't a gender bias).
I made about 500. a week. It was not enough to live on.
Review from Admin Dept
We deserve battle pay for working with all these egos. The executive team has their favorites and the rest are expendable.

I am underpaid even if you leave out total annual compensation.
I'm bringing a lot of rich experience, education and abilities to the company that I have been applying outside of my core responsibilities.

Friendly, helpful, and cooperative team.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Very cliquey bunch. Almost like High School. If you aren't in the popular crowd, you are in danger of being eliminated.
Review from Admin Dept
Be kind to receptionists. Everyone matters.

When in the office the culture is constant and you're encouraged to partake
Always comfortable to work with, good working environment and great concern for the community.
People caring for each other and always willing to assist
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
People make decisions here based on fear. For example, everything in our space needs to look exquisite for fear of our CEO blowing up.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interviewers were nice and friendly.
Well it depends on the level you are coming in but the recruiting team is fantastic.
Review from Design Dept
Confidence and positivism from the begining
The interviewer made me feel comfortable
3 stages - HR - Manager - Manager + Team. It wasn't hard but it also wasn't a breeze. You have to prepare and be ready - so as long as you are prepared - the process was really not bad. Everyone was also extremely warm and welcoming. Gensler gets it.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It needs to be more organized.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Favoritism is a problem. So is the micromanaging. There is also bullying that is not attractive.
