Fragomen reviews

This position was exceedingly stressful. Really not worth it unless you really need a job. You do all your own filing, copying, and collating. I spent just as much time doing that secretarial work as the real paralegal work. You'll spend a lot of time writing very boring support letters on topics which you'll hardly understand which makes it even more boring and awful. The other paralegals there are very young and have a catty attitude making it an unfriendly place at times. The management think you're a robot and assign very heavy case loads. Monthly billing goals were unrealistic.

If you are considering working in the global side of the Matawan office – great! If you are considering employment on the legal side of the Matawan office – run as fast as you possibly can. In the year that I was with the firm, the turnover in the department was rampant. Every day someone else announced their resignation. I had friends on 5 different teams and each of them was extremely unhappy with their management and treatment. If you are compliant and able to take verbal and emotional abuse on a daily basis you will advance and join the ranks of managing paralegals. If you in anyway voice your concern or unhappiness with mistreatment to Human Resources or your management you will be held at a low level without promotion (happened to several of my friends) for years, or fired without behavioral or work issues being cited as the cause. I still have nightmares about working at this office, about my boss, and about the copious amounts of dirt HR swept under the rug. Do not think you will be valued. You are easily replacable and they make that well known.
