Dentons SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: Associates at SNR Denton are enamored of the firm’s collegial culture, flexible working arrangements and collaborative partners and associates. Some are a bit unsure of the firm’s post-combination name brand recognition, however.

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “I am very happy at the firm. I have had ample work and can honestly say that I am happy with the work that I am doing.”
• “The firm's compensation is below that of similarly sized firms with similar hour requirements; however, the firm's lifestyle allows for unlimited vacations (which are actually used) and daily in office hours are not necessary so long as you complete your assignments.”
• “The most significant component of job satisfaction, in my opinion, is the people you work with. I truly enjoy working with everyone in my practice group—from partners and associates to paralegals and secretaries.”
• “I am given a considerable amount of responsibility and respect from the partners. Most partners are very good about giving recognition and praise where it is due.”
