    My company paid over 10 million dollars for Infosys to implement oracle cloud.

    It has been 3 years of complete abject torture, misery, and failure.

    Infosys is an army of completely clueless, unqualified, and incompetent people on a revolving door.

    It’s like they make it a point to NEVER meet the requirements. They always find some convoluted round about lengthy manual process for everything they do.

    I have gotten to the point where any time I am roped into an Infosys project, I will do nothing but ask to see the code, and therein is the problem, even their most “seasoned senior developer” can’t produce the code because it doesn’t exist.

    They use janky point and click applications to “write code” for them, shove the code I to the oracle instance, break all of the existing code doing so, and repeat.

    Infosys is a scam.

      My company is a few years into an Infosys partnership. From the first meeting, we had people disappointed. All this time later we’re behind on every project, and spend more time arguing about payments and KPIs than actually getting work done.

      It’s easy to say your KPIs are green when you don’t measure anything of value, and really easy to say we owe you for services when you have no proof of services rendered.

      To learn they’re pretty anti-human and profit driven from the top down is just icing on the cake

        I’m convinced Infosys kicked back 20% of the payment to the CIO.

        He is a complete con artist who has been bleeding the company dry for 5 years.

          Having attempted to set up a paid infrastructure on Oracle and not being able to because their backend systems are shit and the support people there are idiots, I’d have to agree. I couldn’t get my tenant ID associated with a support contract, even after a continuous week of exploring every support option and talking to support rep after support rep on phone and chat. I just wound it up and moved on.

    Infosys is a fake tech company that doesn’t actually provide real services. They provide promises of services, then they do not deliver any of the services at all.

    This company is a notorious scam. India should not have “national pride” in a scam company. They should get rid of these companies and do honest work instead.

      It’s a problem in India though.

      Scams exist everywhere, but India literally has billions of people running call centers dedicated to shamelessly scamming elderly English speakers out of their money.

      I mean, how many times has Kitboga made the call and was greeted by a Swedish, or Spanish, or French accent.

      No, it’s always an Indian person who wants to get team viewer installed and bank accounts signed into.

      Sidenote, I want to know why Target gift cards are the gold standard for money laundering.

      Anyway, it sounds racist, but it’s still a fact. India’s far and away leading export is posing as people who are tech savvy so they can scam the elderly, be it the retired living on social security or Boomer CEOs who would be caught dead before properly paying and investing in their actual employees.

      Infosys is just the next step in the path of “this is Microsoft support rebate department and I jUsT rEfUnDeD yOu ThE wRoNg AmOuNt.”

      Edit: I did something my fellow millennial do that I try not to. I put ‘literally’ next to a hyperbole statement.

      I apologize for the grammar foul, but it doesn’t sink my point.

        India literally does not have billions of people, so this statement is literally impossible.

          Sorry, India population is 1.4 billion. For some reason I was thinking closer to 4 billion. My bad.

          So let’s adjust it to “hundreds of millions.”

            Still not quite sure if I’d guess >200 million (minimum for “hundreds of millions”) people in India work in scam call centres. That would be 14% of their total population, or 37% of their working population. I’d definitely give you millions, maybe tens of millions if research supports it.

            It’s a problem on a massive scale, no need to be hyperbolic.

        This is kind of racist though. Indian citizens don’t choose to be scammers in a way that Europeans don’t. Its a natural consequence of the countries establishment of business services combined with widespread systemic poverty. This traces back to international business deals, political and economic circumstances. It’s not a cultural thing.

        It doesn’t mean that scam call centers are good. But Indians have definitely been exploited by international business. Only natural that they end up returning the favor.

          I called out how it sounded racist, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a problematic scam culture that is centered in India.

          Whatever the cause, I would like the problem to be resolved and not just filed away under “that’s racist”.

          Edit: rereading this, I bet most of the same can be said for the US stock market. And the US credit system. Only difference is them asshats are scamming under the guise of business instead of the guise of tech. And I’m pretty sure they aren’t hitting up Indian grandma’s.

          I’d be happy to see US stocks and Credit Ratings disappear tomorrow.

          I’d be happy to see Indian tech scams disappear tomorrow.

          They’re all scams.

            There is andiffefence between saying that scam call centers are bad and that Indians have a culture of scamming. Thats all.

              I did not say that Indians have a culture of scamming.

              I said that there is a problematic culture of scamming centered in India.

              THAT is a big difference.
