Working at Infor for over ten years has been a rollercoaster of emotions, so let me take you on this wild journey. While the company overall is a great place, boasting friendly colleagues and attractive benefits, allow me to share my cautionary tale about the IT department in the US. Firstly, let's talk about the managers. Ah, the masters of deception. They have a knack for pretending to care about your well-being, but alas, their promises evaporate faster than water in the desert. During interviews, they will entice you with tales of training and career development, only to reveal that it was all a clever ploy. Yes, my friend, you'll receive training, but it's strictly confined to the realms of your job description. Certificates to soar to new heights? (they will bait you with certificates in the interview) Sorry, not in their dictionary. Now, brace yourself for the salary discussion. Infor, oh Infor, why must you play the stingy game? They'll pay you below-average market rates, keeping you hostage in your position with the meagerest of raises each year. But fear not, for they have a grand internal evaluation program promising promotions and raises. You'll be stuck with the same title for what feels like an eternity. In other companies, people leapfrog to new roles every 1-2 years, but at Infor, you'll have plenty of time to ponder life's mysteries during your fourth year of stagnation. Your manager, oh, that elusive remote figure. They have no real connection to you or the office folks. The social aspect? More like social awkwardness. These supposed leaders would have you believe that they care about your career, but their actions speak louder than their hollow words. Brace yourself for years of listening to the same tired promises, yearning for change that never arrives. You'll soon realize their grand plans were naught but a web of lies. And now we arrive at the climax of our tale: the unfortunate fate of those deemed too expensive to keep. A dedicated, high-performing employee may find themselves on the chopping block, discarded without compensation or severance. In the cold pursuit of cost-cutting, the managers will concoct flimsy reasons to part ways, sacrificing loyalty for the sake of their own interests. Remember, dear reader, that your value may be replaced by two or three associates at a fraction of your salary. In summary, the IT department at Infor serves as a cautionary tale of broken promises and misplaced trust. Behind the veil of friendliness lies a stark reality of unfulfilled commitments. The managers, far from embodying true leadership, thrive in the art of deception, ready to betray when it serves their own purposes. Proceed with caution if you dare to enter this realm, where the social fabric is threadbare, and career progression is but a distant dream. Take heed of this unvarnished glimpse into the world of Infor, where the symphony of professional life plays a discordant tune.

Inconvénients

Management cannot be trusted. Management will lie to you. Managers have no people skills and can't manage their employees. Little growth opportunities. Below market average salary.

Great company to work for. Flexible. Great mentors and access to leadership.

Inconvénients

Leadership changes frequently Infor has a few "focus" industries - its best to be in one of those lines of business if you want to maximize sales compensation.

I like working at Infor. I’ve been here for roughly five years. I enjoy the work, believe in the product, and genuinely like the people I work with and for.

Inconvénients

There has recently been a very strong “AI-first” push across the company. To be clear, I understand the value. AI absolutely can streamline operations and free people up to focus on higher-value work. Used correctly, it’s useful. The problem is that there does not appear to be a clear or consistently enforced policy around what constitutes appropriate use versus misuse or outright abuse. There should be better guidance around where AI helps productivity, where it introduces risk (especially around company information being entered into public tools), and where the line is between use and replacement of basic job responsibilities. For example, I recently had a coworker explain that they created AI automation to read and manage their emails so they rarely have to review or respond themselves, while acknowledging things are likely missed. The same person records meetings for transcripts, leaves their laptop during the call, then relies on AI afterward to summarize what happened. At a certain point, it raises a legitimate question: are we using AI to improve productivity, or are we using it to avoid participating in the job altogether? Right now, reactions internally seem split. Some employees view this as a serious abuse of the technology, while others appear fully on board with it. That disconnect alone suggests the company needs clearer expectations and policy guidance. AI should support human judgment and critical thinking. Not eliminate the need for employees to engage in their work entirely. And how does the company determine when that is being done?
