Pros

Absolutely zero pros to working at Dentons.

Cons

Working at Dentons was by far the worst decision I have ever made in my life. Management is verbally abusive and think it’s acceptable to scream and berate those who support them. The culture is awfully toxic - if you are reading this, please understand I am not some disgruntled employee, there is a reason the turn over is so high and even partners are leaving to go to competitors, or start their own firms. It is because this place will suck out your soul and leave your mental health completely depleted. Harassment and inappropriate misconduct from male partners is not taken seriously by Human Resources, and you will be punished for speaking up.
