It was a very stressful and mostly bad experience. I did enjoy some of the people I worked with (attorneys included) - Assistant Paralegal Fragomen Employee Review

Pros

Good pay. Most of the co-workers were very approachable and really nice when it came to questions I had about cases. Very good when it came to asking for vacation or just needed time off.

Cons

Sweat shop! Very stressful environment. Absolutely no room for error. Worked close to 80 hours a week on some occasions.

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.
