Pros

Dentons offers a lot of flexibility in terms of locations where you can work. Hours are manageable. The firm is flexible with pro bono as creditable hours. Managing partners of DC and SF offices are incredible. Pays well!

Cons

Higher management of the whole firm could use improvement. There seems to be a lot of trust issues at senior associate or partner levels. There seems to be a lot of turnover as well.

Business Outlook

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Zero communication between staff and management, outdated and buggy computer systems, departments do not work together and operate almost like separate companies, no leadership or clear vision at the top except to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.
