      A very large and unorganized organization.

      Pros

      They pay well initially, but raises and bonuses are not good.

      Cons

      This is an extremely large organization run by a select group of partners at the highest level. They have a difficult time retaining C suite as it is impossible to run the business and make their demands a reality much of the time. That dynamic quickly trickles down to the lower levels.

      Pros

      Nice office space, Jeans Fridays, great co-workers

      Cons

      Zero communication between staff and management, outdated and buggy computer systems, departments do not work together and operate almost like separate companies, no leadership or clear vision at the top except to acquire new firms to add to the chaos at an insane pace, high staff turnover, attorneys are leaving in droves, financial outlook of the firm is dire.

      Your experience will depend on your job/office

      Pros

      There are some very good, hard-working people at Dentons. (unfortunately, many have now left.)

      Cons

      As they grew to be effectively the largest law firm in the world, they stopped paying attention to what was going on in their own back yard. Know that as a law firm, their emphasis and resources are spent on legal talent which means that if you're not a lawyer, you are a cog in a machine.
