Pros

- a perfect place for brainless, lazy people, that blindly follow management decisions - the weather - I left the company!

Cons

- highly political environment - the culture and values are only on the posters in the wall - if you have no personal life and willing to spend most of your time in Amadeus you may like it - the area is a province and the same about people mentality, you won't make any new friends outside Amadeus - I am not affraid of use the word "racism" - not french, no grande ecole, don't speak french - if you miss on of those features you are going to be treaten as a slave - Technical expertise is not a case. The non technical people decide about technical solutions - It's absolutely true that active people are considered as trouble makers - A friend of mine was fired as he disagreed with the management decision and didn't want to follow their idea, that was simply stupid - Actually the situation happened twice within the time I worked there - The univeristy students should be taken here for a trip to show them how a bad company looks like - You feel like the time stopped here. In 70's - They literally have a survey contained of several hundreads question and ask devs to fill it to evaluate the project quality. However no testing, code quality, code review, design patterns, etc. - You can't criticise anything, you just swim in the mud of bugs, old technology, stupid ideas, skilles people and every approach of trying to improve the situation ends up in your manager office as you complain and don't show enthusiasm - To sum up: this place is sick - it might be crazy to find another job, if you don't have any other project to follow. After fixing bugs in a spaghetti code, you simply forget everything - numbers of newly graduated people that never worked anywhere before and think the situation is normal. What's worst they quickly adapt to Amadeus standards - the product definition people are... forget. I can't say anything without using a word that is not rude

Pros

You definitely won't work yourself to death here.

Cons

Often I had to ask myself if these people are for real. Most are really incompetent - not just uneducated but also immature, acting like 15 year-olds. A lot of them have serious attitude problems, especially the younger ones. Yet they pretend to be professional and think so highly of themselves. I have a degree from an very good university and a few years of international work experience, but here I was treated like a dumb child. Not just they regularly refused to consider my expertise but I was outright disrespected and even yelled at on several occasions. All they do most of the time is talking about others. Moreover I didn't grow anywhere professionally and the French Riviera sucks for any kind of socializing, except if you like meeting the same people over and over again. Really, the worst decision in my career was to take the job at this company.

Pros

they hardly ever fire anyone, if you don't step on the wrong foot and do an 'ok' job, you can linger here forever, performance reviews are a joke, targets are set low so anyone can do it, from the technical skill point of view it's not a demanding job at all + you have a lot of free time

Cons

very political, people are secretive and backstabbing, always 'escalating' issues (shifting blame on someone else), unable to communicate directly about anything at all, many are building their own 'empires', others go there just for the paycheck, and no one really gives a damn about the work or really solving issues, they are usually nice but it's often just a facade, the more senior the worse
