No upper mobility, stressful environment, poor work-life balance - werkgeversreview Legal Assistant/Paralegal bij Fragomen

Good teams and support group that help each other.

Lots of corporate interference in every day work sometimes good sometimes bad.

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

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.
