The pros is that I am still employed (at least for today). But you never know with firms that are constantly gobbling up other companies. Just glad that I still have a job!

Management informed employees that Legacy McKenna and Dentons was a “merger.” But, quite frankly, it feels more like an “acquisition.” Legacy McKenna has completely taken on every aspect of the Dentons’ culture. In practice, however, actual mergers of equals don't happen very often. Usually, one company will buy another and, as part of the deal's terms, simply allow the acquired firm to proclaim that the action is a merger of equals, even if it's technically an acquisition. Case and point for “Legacy McKenna.” Many employees have “jumped ship” and many more will continue to leave in the coming months as they are not happy with the new culture and “Greedy Dentons.” The remaining employees who have been working at Legacy McKenna for 10-30 years are terrified as to the thought of looking for another job and are merely walking around feeling uneasy and uncertain for fear of more layoffs.
