Pros

My experience at Fragomen has been great. There is real sense of teamwork. The attorneys and staff really work together rather than competing with one another. The partners are also really great supervisors. They are supportive and seek out opportunities for young associates. They also encourage pro bono. It really is a wonderful place to work.

Cons

The hours can be long, especially during cap season, but that's to be expected.

Thank you for your feedback. As head of recruiting here, rest assured we're doing all we can to identify and attract new staff to support our growing business needs. We're in a niche area, and few immigration firms have the same high hiring standards as we do, so hiring experienced immigration professionals is always challenging (but we never stop trying!) But we also provide fantastic training for entry level hires to learn the immigration field. We will continue to explore all avenues to get the talent we need to support our current immigration experts. Gary Whyld, Director of Worldwide Talent Acquisition.

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.
