Infosys Technologies Ltd.

Overview

Bangalore-based Infosys Technologies Ltd. is one of India’s largest technology companies, providing other firms with a broad range of services including business consulting; product design, development and packaging; computer systems integration and maintenance; and software re-engineering. It also provides software products to the banking industry. About two-thirds of its revenue come from U.S. clients.

Infosys has development centers in Asia, Europe and North America and offices in more than a dozen states in the U.S. While it started out offering low-skilled services such as product phone support, it now offers high-level software design and strategic consulting services, challenging U.S. rivals such as IBM Corp. and Electronic Data Services Corp.

The company is in hiring mode in the U.S. In 2009 it set up Infosys Technologies Inc. in Dallas to tap multibillion-dollar opportunities from government projects.

Recruiting

The company likes to say that it's harder to get a job with Infosys than to get into Harvard University. Infosys hires only 1% of applicants out of more than a million annual applications. (Harvard's acceptance rate is about 9%.) It offers extensive training to recruits, putting more than 15,000 new hires every year through its Infosys U campus in India.

Candidates can expect a series of tests and interviews. Recent-grad employees embark on a three-to-four-month induction and education program in India followed by a two-to-three month stint on small in-house project. Employees return to the U.S. after they complete training.
