I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gensler in June 2021
Interview
1.Self-introduction
2.Portfolio
3.Q&A
The whole experience is online. 3 people with one architect and PR,about 1 hour.
The architect commented the portfolio and gave advice. Works should fit the project they were working.
They conducted an English only interview. A self intro and portfolio sharing, followed by a quick, causal chat with team members. Very friendly vibe overall and I would recommend this firm.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process felt like a gradual conversation where each step became more personal and specific. It started with a recruiter call that was relaxed and focused on my background and interest, then moved into a deeper discussion with the hiring manager where I walked through my experiences and explained my thinking and design approach.
they ask you to explain your portfolio and they ask questions about it. They also ask my last intern experiences. And if their is one specific project that i wish to join.
