I can confirm that pre-corona SAM have laptops only to people with at least 2 years experience (don’t know the logic) - rest got desktops only - and the laptops were so bad that almost everyone just used Citrix in their own laptops to the extent possible
I know that kco couriered laptops to the houses of A0’s this year - don’t think Sam did so
SAM = yes, have to mandatorily work on it CAM = depends Khaitan = yes, have to mandatorily work on it S&R = no KCo = yes, have to mandatorily work on it JSA = depends
Depends on the kind of software and number of apps used by the firm and whether the IT Dept will install them on the personal laptop.
For Khaitan - IT support is good, they replace the really old unworkable laptops by courier / download basic VPN and apps on personal laptop if necessary
Your personal lap top maybe blazingly fast but your if you have a shitty virtual desktop environment then does not matter. Plus they will load tracking software on your laptop. Better to keep personal and office things separate.
AZB NOIDA provides super outdated PCs, with both horrible software and hardware. I really wonder how the lawyers of the "#1" firm of the country work on that tech.
Top clients should insist on criteria for updating tech. This is ridiculous. Slow laptops easily restrict the lawyers ability to perform in top gear, it would be cheaper to give them super fast laptops (read M1 machines) for free with a 500 hour mandate.
Well, the Americans use the really old floppy disks on the computers which have the programmes to control their nuclear launchpads (not trolling here BTW, look it up).
If they permit you to use your own laptop that is actually better for you in the long run. If it is your own machine you have better control over it and can keep more data with you as and when you quit.
Top of the line laptops, the recent joiners received a laptop that was not even out in the mainstream market. Samsung phone, dongle, and keyboard+mouse set. All brand new, out-of-the-box btw.
Leaders get better brand laptops and iPhones, but the tech is essentially the same.
The guys at Anagram provide each one lenovo i5 chip laptops. Also operate on a high speed secure onedrive MS enterprise system. very smooth and secure.
Bharucha gives i7 expensive Dell latitude laptops even to A0s for sure. Couriered during Pandemic too, as far as I have heard. Phones they give decent Samsung ones.
Anagram offers Lenovo Thinkpad with i7 / I5 chips to all including freshers. Those guys also have MS Enterprise with a smooth system and high security and cloud operational and no physical servers
AZB? Cyril? Shardul? Trilegal? JSA? S&R? Phoenix?
