Dentons - Growth is more important than its Employees Happiness

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
