Employees say
“Taking care of the staff is a priority. There is overall great support from leadership to cater to the staff's needs, from development to promoting work/life balance and recognition!”
“We get to do great projects with great clients, not 100 percent of the time but far more than at other firms.”
“It pushes me every day to be the very best I can be. Gensler cares about its employees and the career of each individual.”
Good works
The Gensler Cup Golf Tournament raised more than $21,000 last year to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas.
Fun facts
Gensler’s architects design the holes for the company’s annual putt-putt tournament, transforming the office into a themed wonderland. The company is also 100 percent employee-owned.
