Good group at consultant level. Pay was fair for the job you are hired to do! Fun at times office events were nice. Supports the community chaities etc

Cons

Need a law degree to be taken seriously no further training offered. Volume of work is unreasonable for caseworkers impossible workload in an 8 hour day Long hours expected some people working 13 hrs no appreciation or recognition. No support from seniors or managers Not transparent , clicky environment with management

Fragomen Response

As always we appreciate your feedback, and we're sorry you didn't have a more positive employee experience with Fragomen. In response to your points - Unlike in some other countries, Fragomen doesn't operate as a law firm in Ireland, and many of our staff in Dublin don't have law degrees. While we're always looking for people with business immigration experience, we consider candidates from all backgrounds, and are proud of the career paths we provide for all employees, regardless of law degree. We are also in the process of revamping our training and development programs globally. - We acknowledge that, as the world's leading immigration services firm, we often have demanding caseloads , and work life balance is often a challenge here. However, we've taken steps to address this locally in Dublin by adding significant headcount in the last year, and exploring other ways to improve efficiencies. Again, thank you for your feedback - it is welcome as we seek to become an employer of choice in Dublin and beyond - William Foster, | Managing Director, Fragomen Ireland Limited & Partner, Fragomen LLP (UK)

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.
