Application
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Gensler (Oakland, CA) in May 2019.
Interview
Met with a Design Director and Principal Design Director. Everyone was extremely friendly, nice, polite and kind. Interview itself went really well. The questions were pretty straight forward. They went through my portfolio. I spoke about my portfolio and the programs I know most. Described each project and they were very impressed. They were very nice and made me feel comfortable. The best part was that they care about you and your goals in your career and ask questions accordingly.
