I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gensler in Jan 2020
Interview
5hr interview with many exercises by category that would evaluate my knowledge on each design field. The first few were useful by last ones too exhausting and unnecessary. The team was really nice and receptive all along.
overall is good, sharing works and behavior questions to be asked. Average difficulty but they have so many candidates to review, so it's hard to stand out. But it is worth trying as they have great clients.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about yourself. walk me through a project. tell me about the design thinking behind.
I had one interview with two team members and was offered an internship shortly after. It was a great experience from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, collaborative culture, and creative energy of the Detroit office—it really affirmed my interest in working in a dynamic design environment.
HR interview average confirming skills aligned with job description, then an Interview with 4 studio directors, got an offer 3 months after, HR callback for salary offer, not willing to negotiate
