Infor reviews

Having said all the products are improving they could only get better. Infor has a collection of some of the worst designed solutions on the market. Sales people are out pitching vaporware. In order to resolve the back end issues Infor has made a push to the Cloud. They are doing that more to hide the infrastructure warts of all of their products. Infor doesn't even use its own CRM solution. Try to sell InforCRM and have someone ask you what product you use internally and have to answer Salesforce. Then there is mgt. The upper mgt at Infor is a collection of some of the most anal retentive micro-managers I have ever seen. If you are interviewing be sure to ask about Deal Documentation policies (now consists of three documents on-top of Salesforce management) or the new travel and expense policies. One could easily spend two place days a week doing paperwork. And, you might as well do the paperwork because to travel anywhere it pretty much requires an approval from the CEO. And then there is the compensation policies. Someone else mentioned you will not get paid what is in the Compensation document. That is true. Rev Req will find a way to cut the deal size. What's more you don't get paid until after the company gets paid. And, normally that means 2 and sometimes 3 months after the company gets paid. If you sell a deal today count on getting paid sometime next year. Infor has by far the worst work environment I have ever experienced. Upper management came from Oracle and they have made it worse.

I felt like a cog in a very large machine. I was bought in to work on a sotware product and after 3 years I still did not understand what the software was for or how it was used. I was just constantly fixing bugs. They never thought it was worthwhile to train me on the system so I could better understand it and be a more effective employee. The company was not interested in training employees to keep them current. If I stayed there, I would probably be working on the same system, year after year, with not potential to do anything else. They were also not very good about keeping compensation competitive. I also felt that there was no real meaningful feeling of being on a team, other than eating lunch together with other people in the software group.
