Pros

Fragomen hires extremely talented people from diverse backgrounds. The people on your team can become like a family and you will learn to rely on them both inside and outside of work if you are to make it in the firm.

Cons

If you are seen as one of the people overachieving at your job, you will be given more cases and your caseload will keep growing without any immediate improvements to your compensation. There was very frequent turnover, and since leaving only a handful of people remain from my cohort at the firm, including both Assistant Paralegals and Attorneys.

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.
