This is a reference example from a real Infor opening in September 2025 — likely no longer accepting applications. It’s kept here because the role breakdown, skills, and interview process below are still accurate for this type of fresher opening at Infor and similar companies. Check Infor’s official careers page for current openings.
Infor previously hired for Software Engineer, Associate roles in Hyderabad, aimed at recent graduates rather than experienced hires. If you’re finishing a B.Tech or M.Tech in computer science (or something close to it), this breakdown is a useful reference for what this kind of structured, mentored entry point at an enterprise software company actually looks like — even if this specific listing has closed.
What Infor actually does
Infor builds business software for specific industries rather than one-size-fits-all tools — separate product lines for manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, for example, instead of a single generic ERP. The company is owned by Koch Industries, which means it isn’t chasing quarterly stock targets the way a publicly listed company would. In practical terms, that tends to mean steadier product timelines and less of the reactive churn you sometimes see at newer startups.
As a fresher, you won’t be working on flashy consumer apps here — you’ll likely touch enterprise modules like ERP, supply chain, or HR software used by large manufacturing or retail companies. It’s less glamorous than building the next social app, but the problems are real and the codebases are mature, which is a different (and useful) kind of learning experience than a scrappy startup.
What the role involves
You’d join an Agile team, which in practice means daily standups, sprint planning every couple of weeks, and code reviews where senior engineers actually read what you wrote and tell you what to fix. That last part matters more than it sounds — code review is where a lot of real learning happens in your first year, more than any onboarding document will teach you.
Expect a mix of Java, and depending on the team, Python or JavaScript. SQL comes up constantly since enterprise software lives and dies by its databases. If you’ve used Git for anything beyond a college project — even just pushing to a personal GitHub repo — that experience will help more than most people expect.
Salary and location
This listing was in the 5–7 LPA range for the Hyderabad office. That’s a reasonable, not exceptional, fresher package for a large IT company in Hyderabad — roughly in line with what similar-sized enterprise software firms pay entry-level engineers in the city. Don’t expect a startup-style equity story; this is a steady, benefits-heavy package (health insurance, PTO, and typically some learning/certification reimbursement).
What the interview process tends to look like
For roles like this, the typical pipeline runs: an online assessment (aptitude + a couple of coding problems, usually on HackerRank-style platforms), followed by one or two technical interviews focused on data structures and your own projects, and finally an HR conversation about compensation and joining timelines.
The one piece of advice that consistently helps freshers in these interviews: be ready to explain your own project in detail — not just what it does, but why you made the choices you made. Interviewers often care more about how you think through a problem than whether you get the “optimal” answer immediately.
Before you apply to similar roles
- Check Infor’s own careers page directly for current openings — this specific listing is from September 2025 and is likely closed.
- Tailor your resume to mention SQL and at least one backend language explicitly — enterprise software teams screen for this directly.
- Have one project you can talk about for five minutes straight, including a mistake you made and fixed.
