Pros

Free cake once a month. The new CEO has made some small changes to the firm that seem promising

Cons

Low company morale, zero organizational culture, hierarchy operated - if you aren't a lawyer / partner you dont matter at all. Not a single person i met at my time at Dentons truly enjoyed working there, everyone is just there until they find their next job - those that stay at Dentons long term are highly unmotivated and unhappy individuals. I worked there for 4 years and in that time there was not one christmas party and they actually make employees pay to attend their Calgary office Stampede party (and no plus ones allowed). Absolutely brutal culture. Low pay for business services staff, high employee turnover, and unmotivated/unhappy people - steer clear of Dentons.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
