Pros

Its decently paid for what it is.

Cons

Like being a grunt in the military- the attorneys treat you like you're "lesser than." On most teams you do the same. thing. over. and. over. again. Its really really boring.

Fragomen Response

Thank you for your review, and we're disappointed that you found some aspects of your time at Fragomen un-fulfilling. Our Paralegal population is the lifeblood of our business model, playing a more critical role than is typical at most law firms, where they are often seen as a support function. We're sorry you didn't feel appreciated or valued by the Associates you worked with - this is a rare criticism here, but one we are addressing in an upcoming Manager Training program. As for the work being repetitive - we're constantly looking at ways our ever-improving technology can automate some of the more mundane functions of the case work, allowing our Paralegals to focus on more value add and client facing work. We appreciate your time with us, and are focused on improvements in both these areas for our current and future Paralegals. Gary Whyld, Director of 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.
