Pros

Young environment with co-workers around 22-35, as they hire a lot of new grads during CAP. They provide snacks and meals during CAP season and other perks. They have a regular community outreach program that each team takes turns to lead.

Cons

Extremely high caseload, even if you're brand new with no experience. The expectations are high and working on the weekend may be a necessity just to get work done to meet deadlines. The work can be monotonous and boring, and with the high amount of cases with little oversight, this can lead to low morale. Training isn't great either. Pay is not competitive.

We're incredibly sorry you had this experience.For those of us on the HR side it is hard to hear. We acknowledge that Fragomen is a fast-paced, demanding, challenging environment, and we try not to sugar-coat that. We're the biggest and best immigration law firm in the world, and that means we're busy. But it certainly doesn't mean that we don't value our employees, the hard work they put in, and the sacrifices they make. We're constantly looking at ways to improve our benefits, work-life balance and general working environment. I'd love to hear more of your impressions (and those of any other current or former Fragomen employees that might feel the same way) as we work on making these changes. gwhyld@fragomen.com; Gary Whyld - Director of Worldwide Talent Acquisition

Pros

I’ve made some really great friends working here. Team members collectively try to look out for one another.

Cons

The management staff is horrendous. There is a horrible culture of throwing people under the bus by supervisors and attorneys. Other staff members are given unfair promotions or raises, and the favoritism is extremely apparent. We are very blatantly underpaid for the work we do here, and there is little room for growth within teams.

Pros

They try to have there be an office culture, but it doesn't really work and feels very stilted.

Cons

The organization, training, and communication are terrible. I frequently got yelled at for not doing things that nobody told me to do or were never explained to me. The work environment felt totally toxic and I'm so grateful I got out. Low pay and long hours.
