By God's mercy, the Israelites who had increased dramatically and prospered, were left to themselves after Joseph and the Pharaoh of his time passed on - for most of their 400 years in Egypt. However, with a new Pharoah who did not know of Joseph, their time came when Pharoah put taskmasters over them (Exodus 1:11).
Genesis 15:13New International Version (NIV)13 Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.

What were the Israelites called in Egypt?
We have relatively extensive documentary evidence of life in ancient Egypt during the time the Israelites supposedly lived there, but never were the Israelites ever mentioned or referred to. In all the royal records and documents, letters, business contracts and the like, no Egyptian ever mentioned a race of slaves among them, nor were Joseph or Moses ever mentioned, in spite of their supposedly quite significant impact on Egyptian rule. If the Israelites were ever in Egypt, the Egyptians give us no hint as to what they were called. The earliest mention of Israel or Israelites outside the Bible, and the only mention of Israel in Egyptian records, is the Merneptah Stela which describes the defeat of the Israelites around 1210 BCE: "Israel is laid waste, its seed is not." The Stela also describes the defeat by Egypt of Canaanite cities and places Israel in the probable context of a backward, rural community.
