Dentons - Growth is more important than its Employees Happiness

Pros

Professional atmosphere, friendly staff, underground parking, nice office setting

Cons

overly micromanaged, treating grown adults like children, no bonuses, sub-par raises, expensive healthcare coverage, being the biggest isn't always the best, need to slow down on the growth of the Firm. Need to encourage more in-house growth for people who are talented to do more than what they were hired to do.

Pros

Always good or bad at a big law firm. Compensation was very good. There was a strong commitment to professional development. One of the few firms where I know people who joined right out of law school, stayed, made partner, and are still there.

Cons

Like a lot of firms, there was an ever-widening gap between partners and others in terms of information communicated. Some departments looked after their own better than others.
