Pros

I really can't say that there is too much that's great about working here. The pay is good, but you will be required to work those overtime hours that they said were optional.

Cons

There are too many cons to fit in this small box. The culture is terrible and there are many unethical and discriminatory behaviors that take place within the firm. Do you want to go back to those high school days? Then DC Fragomen is the firm for you.

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.
