Pros

The SF office is a great environment with kind-hearted, hard-working people. The office is easy going, inclusive, and diverse. It provides extremely important understanding and knowledge, especially for the current times.

Cons

Promotions aren't merit-based. The people who work harder, get assigned more work and more complicated cases. Someone with seniority may have less work.

Pros

The people are really great and there is a good sense of community You feel like you are really helping people The attorneys and upper management are very approachable

Cons

It can feel understaffed at times, and the turn over can be rough. However, that's because a lot of who they hire go onto Law school or Masters programs. CAP can be extremely exhausting.

Pros

-PEOPLE! Everyone is cooperative and friendly, and creates an environment where you are constantly motivated to do your best. The teamwork is great, the leadership is great, and it is definitely like a family. Oftentimes, we hang out outside of work and that is always fun! Love our SF office environment in particular! Everyone is very intelligent and comes from diverse backgrounds, therefore you get a lot of insight and form new perspectives. -PURPOSE! What this law firms stands for especially in current situations is another reason I stand by this firm. I believe that what my colleagues and I are doing is meaningful and truly helps the world become a better place. -ATTORNEYS/MANAGERS! There is so much to learn everyday, and the attorneys and managers at Fragomen have always been available and are always willing to help even in the busiest times. They have passion and drive, and I could honestly say that I have found new mentors to look up to. -FAST-PACED! The learning curve is definitely steep, but if you are ready for a challenge, this is the place for you.

Cons

-Sometimes overworked due to uneven work distribution within the firm -Steep learning curve (also a pro) -couple of bad apples within the firm that don't work as hard as others and can be quite frustrating

This is a very constructive review - thank you for taking the time. We're proud of our fast-paced, demanding environment, but we also appreciate there is a balance. We are constantly looking at our staffing plans to try and ensure our workload is distributed as evenly as possible, and have a whole division now (Worldwide Standards & Knowledge) dedicated to exploring ways to make us more efficient during busy periods (particularly CAP season). Also, our Firm's leadership is focused on making improvements to our appraisal processes, and that recognition is given where it's due. Thank you for your feedback in these two critical areas - Gary Whyld, HR
