I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Infosys (Chandigarh) in Aug 2025
Interview
First round was very good. They asked basics and core java questions and spring boot basics. Second round was advance and implementation round. They asked to implement some sorting algorithm and focused on very core concepts.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Infosys (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interviewer did not ask for a self-introduction, which made the session feel abrupt and impersonal.
I was not given enough time to think through or explain my approach to coding questions. For example, I was told “we don’t have much time” for a Streams question, even though over 30 minutes were still left in the session.
Several questions seemed unrelated to my experience or were not reflected in my CV — for example, Swagger and frontend templates — even though my CV clearly highlights backend microservices experience.
Communication was poor during the call: there was background noise, and the interviewer frequently stayed silent while I asked clarifying questions, which forced me to repeatedly ask if I was audible.
At the end, I was told they were looking for a Senior Engineer, which was inconsistent with the role I was invited for (Java Software Engineer).
Overall, the process did not provide a fair opportunity to demonstrate my skills. I hope Infosys improves interviewer preparation, communication, and ensures clear role alignment during interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Swagger and frontend templates (when I specifically told him I am a backend engineer)
Oauth and grant types.
Streams. (String s ="JAVA") give non repeatable first character (J)
output of this code:
private static void doStuff() {
for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {
doStuff(); // recursive call inside the loop
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
doStuff(); // initial call
}
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Infosys (Hyderabad) in May 2025
Interview
Offline interview smooth and good and good environment, asking questions like oops concepts and spring Boot Hibernate microservices SQL postgresql no SQL mysql and AWS cloud platform and etc but it is easy to crack
