Pros

After all the combinations, Dentons maintained an emphasis on creating a respectful work environment. There were opportunities for advancement within the organization. Great benefits, opportunity for travel (if you're into that sort of thing). A lot of cross-collaboration with other departments. They were open to individuals working in areas that aligned with their interests.

Cons

The job had long hours but that's normal for such a large firm with its global reach. They could have done a better job at providing adequate staffing.

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.

Pros

Given a lot of freedom and individual responsibility with my work and projects. Worked directly for the head of the region's business development team and got a lot of exposure to the work they do.

Cons

Felt the internship program was too unstructured and would've appreciated a little more direction and guidance.
