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

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.
