I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Just bring a good portfolio and process book. They would ask you your work experience or your process at school. And how you know about Gensler. It quick and so you have to be prepared for your interview. A good read on their website is a must. Be up to date on their Media.
I applied online. I interviewed at Gensler (Tokyo)
Interview
Was asked to talk about my portfolio and introduce some of the projects. Wasn’t really asked that many difficult questions, felt more like a casual chat. Interviewer shared more about the work environment and answered questions.
Application (CV, portfolio) -> HR contacted
-> 1st interview was done with the team in the local office (about 1 hour),
-> 2nd interview: global head of design(about 1 hour)
The process consisted of 2 phone interviews where we went over my interest in the role, my experience, and a language evaluation; and an in-person interview where we talked more in depth about technical abilities, interests and accomplishments.
