Pros

Unlike law firms in fields such as corporate litigation or criminal defense, Fragomen provides a very laid-back, comfortable environment to work in. You work as a team with fellow paralegals, administrative assistants, as well as the attorneys, and the team works together to achieve a goal.

Cons

There's always a lot of work to be done so not very good work-life balance. Work can be mundane and boring from time to time.

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.
