Pros

very difficult to say, you're lucky if you have a great team

Cons

- christmas bonus is a $200 gift card to limited vendors (dont expect a cash bonus like at other national firms) - weak culture, a bit cheap - no notable social events compared to other national firms. very generic - firm prides that they are global, but internally disappointing being an employee - way behind in technology, firms are moving onto better innovative technology. Dentons just moving into softwares that other firms have moved on from. To date, using Elite moving to 3E - while other firms have moved on from 3E. - lots of manual processes that could be put in softwares more efficient like at other national firms
