Pros

Innovative, fast-paced and lots of opportunities for new positions/responsibilities in a growing, global firm

Cons

Firm is in a constant state of change. While that means we accomplish a lot that also means the firm asks a lot of its team members.

Pros

I worked with some wonderful people in the San Francisco office. The firm USED to be a great place to work. Salary is competitive. I do miss many of my co-workers.

Cons

After almost 15 years with the firm (started when they were Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal) I was laid-off after yet another merger. Staff seems to be expendable. Dentons seems to demand 110% loyalty from staff, but has 0% loyalty to their staff. I survived several lay-offs in the past (all after mergers). The reward was to have more and more attorneys assigned to my desk. If you want to be treated like a human being and not just a number, avoid this firm at all costs.
