Pros

The people at Fragomen are smart and very kind; it is an environment where employees are encouraged to ask questions, and there is always someone around who is willing to help, whether or not they are your direct supervisor.

Cons

Most hours of the day spent in your cubicle working independently; this is somewhat expected in a paralegal role, but is a little stifling after a while.

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.
