Infosys: No Growth, Toxic Culture, and 4 Other Systemic Issues Lead to Pune Techie’s Resignation

Published

on

In a bold move that has ignited conversations across corporate India, a Pune-based engineer, Bhupendra Vishwakarma, resigned from his job at Infosys without securing another offer.

Sharing his experience in a now-viral LinkedIn post, Bhupendra detailed six systemic issues that compelled him to leave, despite being the sole breadwinner for his family. His candid revelations have struck a chord with many, sparking a heated debate on workplace culture in the IT sector.

Bhupendra’s post pulls back the curtain on the challenges faced by employees in large corporations. Calling out systemic flaws within the Narayana Murthy-founded tech giant, he shed light on issues that many employees endure in silence.

“During my time at Infosys, I encountered several systemic issues that ultimately forced me to take this difficult step. These challenges highlight broader problems in corporate workplaces,” he wrote.

The Six Reasons Behind His Exit

1. Stagnant Financial Growth 
Despite three years of consistent performance, Bhupendra’s promotion from System Engineer to Senior System Engineer came with no salary hike. “I worked hard and met expectations, yet there was no financial recognition for my efforts,” he shared.

2. Unfair Workload Distribution
After his team shrank from 50 to 30 members, the additional workload was dumped on the remaining employees without support or compensation. “Instead of hiring replacements, management chose to overburden us, ignoring the impact on employee well-being,” he said.

3. Career Stagnation
Assigned to a loss-making account, Bhupendra found himself stuck with limited salary hikes and bleak prospects for career growth. “Staying in such an account felt like professional deadweight,” he explained.

4. Toxic Client Environment
Unrealistic client demands for immediate responses created a high-pressure environment. “Constant escalations over minor issues eroded employee well-being and created a culture of firefighting,” he noted.

5. Lack of Recognition
Despite earning praise from colleagues and seniors, Bhupendra felt that his hard work went unrewarded in terms of promotions or salary hikes. “It felt like my efforts were being exploited rather than valued,” he said.

6. Regional Bias in Onsite Opportunities
Bhupendra alleged that onsite roles were not merit-based but influenced by regional preferences. “Employees speaking Telugu, Tamil, or Malayalam were prioritized, sidelining Hindi-speaking employees like me. This blatant bias was demoralizing,” he added.

A Call for Change

Bhupendra concluded his post with a powerful message: “These issues are not unique to me—they reflect the struggles of countless employees. It’s time for corporate managers to stop sugarcoating ground realities and address these systemic problems. Employees are human beings with aspirations and limits, not resources to be exploited.”

Online Reactions

The post has triggered a wave of responses, with many users sharing similar experiences. One user clarified Infosys’ promotion policies, stating, “System Engineer to Senior System Engineer is a progression, not a promotion. The package remains the same.

Another commented, “I agree completely. Promotions come without salary hikes, leaving employees stuck in the same financial situation.”

However, not everyone was in agreement. A user challenged Bhupendra’s point about client demands, stating, “Most clients are reasonable when provided with proper context. The issue lies in the lack of a supportive Project Manager.”

Others highlighted the tough job market, saying, “Many are facing similar challenges in the current scenario. Leaving without a backup plan is not always feasible.”

A Wake-Up Call for Corporates

Bhupendra Vishwakarma’s post has sparked a critical conversation about employee well-being, recognition, and fair growth in India’s booming IT sector. As the debate continues, Infosys is yet to respond to the viral post.
