I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Mar 2011
Interview
I interviewed with 2 studio directors, apparently the first one didn't success, but I passed the second round. I presented an office tower I worked on to the Studio director in very detail and apparently he liked it, and then I talked to another 2 senior designers. I had a separate interview with the Design Director in the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of projects you have done in the past years?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Gensler (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
The interview went smoothly overall, but the interviewer took long pauses before asking each question. Those pauses created several awkward moments of silence, making the conversation feel slower and less natural.
introduce portfolio and ask questions about your work. Do you have any onsite experience. What would you like to learnt from us. The questions are general ones for an interview.
I had 1 interview with the design director and design manager. It was straightforward and they asked about my skills and experience. It did not seem as hard as I thought it would be.
