It’s been a few years since Infosys opened their office in Hartford and reviews submitted by current and former employees don’t paint a pretty picture about what goes on there.
Far from the hub of innovation that state leaders hoped for, the employee reviews submitted to glassdoor.com show that it’s become a place where employees sit around waiting for meaningful work assignments and, along the way, are subjected to abusive corporate managers who appear to conspire to chase Americans out of the company.
“These people will find any and everything to try and lay you off over without providing actual help to let you grow or learn within the company, ” one reviewer said. “They only care about the Indians. If you’re a different race, they’ll file shady ways to get rid of you.”
For our readers convenience, we’ve compiled the reviews in a PDF document here. Please take time to read this – especially if you are considering working there – as the reviews show that it has proved to be a career “dead end” for most who have dared to work for the company.

“Managers are horrible,” one former employee wrote. “You have to find your own assignments or they will fire you.”
And even if you are lucky enough to score actual work, managers can make life difficult …
These posts on glassdoor are supported by statements made in this story published by The Verge. The article shows how new hires have to deal with long bouts of doing nothing, spiked with intermittent acts of obligatory communications with company managers.
All of these testimonies certainly don’t paint a picture of innovation, like Infosys would have you believe. And it certainly doesn’t show how the company is helping Americans develop their potential as coders or IT workers, as promised in the $18 million deal Governor Lamont struck.
