Pros

HR team are great!! Cannot fault them in any way. Oh and it's opposite a really good bar...

Cons

I'm thoroughly surprised that so many people reviewing on here lasted so long! I worked at Fragomen for 3 months which was 2 months and 3 weeks too long. The first week was great, good praise and mentoring, until the second week when you are left to your own devices and get serious attitude from management when asking questions. I had more help from my colleagues than ever from my manager. Making one mistake will lead I disciplinary action, so if you are a firm believer of "try and try again" and "you learn from your mistakes", like myself, then this place is not for you. Absolutely diabolical management techniques. I can only imagine that the Fragomen management training slides begin with "how to insult and belittle your employees".

Pros

Very good benefits and PTO. My peers were very smart and nice people. Good place to start out to develop a solid foundation in immigration. Had the pleasure of working for a few attorneys who served as great mentors.

Cons

Attorneys and Client Service Managers are generally good at their jobs, but very awful at managing people. Teams are generally understaffed for the amount work coming in. That, along with a lack of training and lower salaries (compared to similar positions in the industry), leads to employee frustration which, in turn, leads to high employee turnover. New employees start and the cycle repeats itself. Low employee morale overall. Also, some attorneys are incapable of taking accountability for the work that the team puts out. When something goes wrong, they immediately point fingers at the caseworker (despite the fact that they conducted a "legal review" of the case).
