The interviewer was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was very open about his experiences at Gensler and was able to answer all of the questions I've asked in a very enthusiastic manner. Also, there was an interest in my projects, ideas, and design skills rather than only the software I was proficient in.

During the Gensler prescreen, the recruiter primarily confirmed my basic information, including my current location, graduation date, visa status, and whether I would require company support for OPT or other work authorization. They also asked about my interest in the position I applied for, my openness to other related roles, and my potential start date. The prescreen did not cover my portfolio or technical skills; it mainly focused on gathering background information to determine whether to move forward to the next stage of interviews.
