Vantaggi
Decent benefits. Some teams have good management. There is an active social life in the NY office.
Svantaggi
Incompetent management. Fragomen has an attorneys vs paralegals mentality. Bad attorneys will be favored over good attorneys or paralegals. Paralegals are viewed as stupid and lowly workers although many paralegals have more immigration experience than the attorneys they work for. Teams are poorly managed by partners who, at times, barely know the names of the paralegals that work for them. Senior attorneys often shift their work to junior associates so they can leave at 5:30 PM. Attorneys will often shift blame to paralegals to cover their own backs. Both junior attorneys and paralegals are overworked without any recognition of the work they do. This is a churn and burn company. This is not a company where you can have a good work life balance.
