Pros

Some of the people are nice to work with, though it depends on your team. They do have a fridge full of cold drinks, and once a year they pretend to care and let us volunteer at local organizations. Periodically there is pro bono work, but that's mostly for the attorneys (who are required to fulfill a certain number of pro bono hours a year) because pro bono work cuts into your weekly billing requirements.

Cons

Fragomen consistently undervalues qualitative factors and it's all about quantity and billing over quality. I can't stress that enough - Fragomen is about quantity and not quality. You will have billing minimums. There is also zero sense of community, partially because the company doesn't care about that, and partially because they hire a lot of contract people, so their is a lot of turnover. But really, it's mostly because everyone around you is overworked and tired.

Pros

- Free dinner and a ride home if you work late (which you always do) - My base salary was just under $40k, but with overtime it ended up being closer to $50k - pretty good for an entry level job out of college. - I was able to quit and go to law school = only worked there less than a year

Cons

- The work is incredibly boring and repetitive, but it also needs to be perfect. - There's no opportunity for advancement, unless you count being a senior paralegal, which is basically the just more of the same work. - Soul-crushing environment, slightly ameliorated by occasional birthday cupcakes
