Thoughts on Dentons?

Clients challenging fees after the fact has genuinely gone too far. It feels like lawyers are the only profession where clients can just "decide" what they want to pay. I would never go into a restaurant, order what I want, eat the entire meal, then ask for a discount. I don't challenge the rate my doctor charges (though maybe an insurance company does), etc. This is so silly and disrespectful to the profession.
Not particularly distinguished. Quality of attorneys and work varies significantly across offices. Black box compensation and under-market bonuses. Would pick another firm if given the option.
That’s a shame. I know some Dentons attorneys who are really good but have heard the opposite about others.

Really depends on the practice group and office. Which are you thinking of? Generally great people to work with.
Worked there for a while. The level of skill varies among practice groups. Benefits are similar to other firms I’ve seen. Comp is at cravath for first few years, although 10k less in ‘not major’ markets and then just inches up. 2000 billable requirement and maybe 10k-20k max bonus if hit it (could go higher but I don’t know anyone who did).
Yup. One of the reasons I left.

What if I said it’s their insurance dispute team - first party insurance claims?
They are always busy. Smart people in the group. High level work. Feel free to dm.
Then I wouldn’t know. Also really depends on the office. If it’s a smaller market office, likely good people. If not… well, sol - welcome to big law in big city.
McDonalds? Nah.
