Fragomen reviews

Quantity over quality. Constant technological failure that is beyond absurd (Lotus Notes, seriously?! It would crash constantly making it impossible to meet deadlines even if you weren't already swamped). Little to no training (other than power point slides), or worse, conflicting training which, when things go awry, always fall to the blame of the APs rather than management. Little value to life outside the office. Expect to stay late, work weekends (during CAP especially), and have little to no work/life balance. The only saving grace will be your coworkers, and hopefully at least one attorney on your team.

Weak leadership, nepotism at the highest levels (office managing partners and with members of the executive team), Office of General Counsel attorneys are a joke -- impossible for HR to reach for advice on client and employee issues, HR leadership uses hashtag #bestplacetowork on social media when the firm has never won a single "Best Place to Work" award, tons of turnover from burnout, lack of training, and lack of skilled managers. You also have to have about 10 different usernames and passwords for various systems. Nothing is streamlined. The "One Firm" approach is complete BS - every office is run differently and the rollout of the firm's core values several months ago were nothing but a flash in the pan. Until leadership buys into the One Firm approach and the core values, especially the one about respecting colleagues, the turnover will remain high and Fragomen can forget being a #bestplacetowork.
