Fragomen reviews

NONE OF THESE ARE STATEMENTS OF PROVABLE FACTS. THIS REVIEW CONTAINS FICTION ABOUT ANOTHER COMPANY. Non-discriminatory mass termination effective immediately with no warning. Sad seeing so many great people feel like their lives were falling apart. What an amazing team it was. Had never felt so belonging and valued before. First job out of college. Always put in 100% effort and aspired to be the best. Years later married and feel confident in job stability to afford a mortgage and a non clunker car. Corporate has to manage a budget and the economy wasn't looking good. Head of dept and my direct manager did not know beforehand. Shut out of the system, received phone calls. No chance to say bye. Was stressed about the economy to begin with. You know the rest. Nothing performance based at all. Life's just like that sometimes. $$$ for a while, but had to hurry to gain new employment. Felt like I had to settle and part of my soul hurts that I can't provide like I used to. Ended up with 29% decrease in salary. Would like to have family...things just get setback. Maybe get there one day.

The transparency between partners and their teams are nonexistent. There is an extreme emphasis on billing and ensuring as much money is collected as possible to meet financial goals. The partners do not come to the office in person and are held to different standards. The workload is pretty intense on both managers and paras. Stress from managers trickles down on the paras as well. Client interaction feels like retail customer service given the entitlement of the client's employees. You will be verbally abused via email on multiple occasions and are expected to handle very stressful interactions alone. Expectations (regarding SLAs to turn a case around) are not clearly communicated to the client which is why their employees feel as though they can walk over their case workers. Lastly, within the para realm, even if you are offered a promotion, expect to do the same exact work as lower level paras. There is no room for career growth.
