Pros

The people are absolutely fantastic. Fragomen does a great job of recruiting smart, easy-going (but hard-working) people and it makes for a very positive work dynamic. Work-life balance is manageable, and the benefits package is excellent.

Cons

I wish they would train their assistant paralegals more comprehensively. You learn to do one thing and you do it over and over again until you've mastered it, but they could do a better job of helping the AP's with opportunities for more dynamic growth.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
