We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Reimbursement of food is quite subjective, i would say. If the client is stingy, your partner would not allow reimbursements.

200% is subject to your billing. The above mentioned perks should be available regardless of billing. There are interns, clients, and other people too who should get better amenities. SAM can truly afford to provide all these.
1. No reimbursement for food: Have stayed till 4 in the morning - minted money for them. Least they could do is offer reimbursement.
2. No wfh: Many teams have discontinued one day a week WFH - firm is receding in growth. Walking backwards.
3. No decent coffee machine: We require coffee to stay awake / feel energetic. The coffee machine in okhla office is utterly poor - doesn’t work properly. The other day milk got splashed at me - ruined my suit.
4. Substandard snacks: The evening snacks are ordered from some nearby tapri - liquid dhokla, senseless corns, undercooked samosa, etc. Trilegal offers sushi, kathi roll, etc.
5. Poor infrastructure: Worst thing about office is its infrastructure. The washroom doors have posters of models. It’s a law firm for god’s sake & not some local saloon.
6. Worst working system: The laptops - most crucial technology you spent 10 hours+ time everyday - are the worst in quality (30-40k models). At least one person in every bay faces issues. Citrix on top of that ruins things for everyone.
Younger brother of SSS laughs at how stingy SAM has been with the employees. I am joining him soon.
My ranking is below:
Infra: 2/10; Bare minimum perks: 2/10; Resources: 3/10; IT Team: 7/10; People: 8/10; Pantry: -5/10; parking: 3/10.
