Utna toxicity chahiye toh Trilegal, Gurgaon chale jao, constant shouting and infighting between folks who are trying to one-up against each other at all times.
HSA has a good projects practice too- but you know how their pay is and if they pay you that is.
AZB, Noida and SAM, Mumbai put in great work (no clue about the culture or vacancies though).
SAM, Delhi and Khaitan, Mumbai are the absolute worst in terms of culture - avoid at all costs.
JSA and Trilegal (both their Bangalore teams) are involved solely in risk assessment diligence for their infrastructure deals within the garb of a projects practice - so avoid if starting out.
JSA and Trilegal (both the Gurugram teams) always have vacancies. Also, both the Gurugram offices have teams which mix regulatory practice with corporate work - so be prepared for what you are getting into (this holds true even for SAM, Mumbai - Deepto's team).
Saraf, Noida (Avirup's team) is decent, he is a great guy who knows the practice inside out but can't say the same about the kind of folks which work under him.
AZB, Mumbai (QJ's team) and Trilegal, Mumbai (NM's team) never have vacancies for god knows what reason.
Luthra, Delhi (Girish and Karan) is again more financing, contracts and pre-bid advisory - so avoid.
DSK, Mumbai (Anjan's team) is more involved on the financing side and less of project development; so avoid, also he runs a very lean team which never has vacancies.
Hope this helps, cheers!
