Pros

The people are lovely to work with and for a large firm they seem quite flexible.

Cons

Just the typical big firm cons, such as dealing with bureaucracy and paperwork, but nothing you wouldn't find at another firm.

Large Firm with a Small Firm Feel

Pros

I work at one of the smaller offices and this particular office has a great culture. While Dentons is a VERY large firm, this office has a small "family" firm feel to it. The support to staff in this office is second to none. Our administrators do their best to listen to staff while respecting the needs of the attorneys. Dentons provides excellent benefits.

Cons

Because it is a large firm, the processes can become a little intense and wearisome.

Pros

Overall, I had a good experience working with my team and I learned a lot from senior members. Annual Company Christmas parties, family events, decent benefits.

Cons

I worked in the IT department before the combination. At the time, the IT management group consisted of folks who were promoted from within, however some lacked decent people skills. They were a tight group who protected each other and their jobs. There was no possibility of breaking into this group via the promotion route.
