Gensler Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Coworkers are great, lunch and learn meetings.

The diversity of the people that work at Gensler throughout the world and the connections/friendships one can make.

Review from Design Dept

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

it is very inspirational, supports its talent, and developls future leaders. It basically does everything right - and of course specific local or regional discrepancies are to be expected - overall - Gensler's values and way of treating employees is exceptional

Great culture, team events, company events, team building exercises

work hard and have fun playing

Review from Design Dept

The upper Management favor some people over others. Some people get a free pass, ie: the Receptionist, but others are fired for superficial reasons.

Review from Admin Dept

Pretentious. Smiles on the surface, but, gossip, back-stabbing, and nepotism underneath. It all depends on who you know.

Review from Admin Dept

The amount of activities and social opportunities that are being offered. Great workspace, lots of natural light.

Review from Design Dept

The view is wonderful but people are fake.

Review from Admin Dept

The flexibility of working hours and locations.

Employee owned company, we are all responsible for the greater success

Review from Design Dept

We're relaxed and value innovation and creativity. We also have fun and enjoy art in the office regularly.

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.
