Pros

Amadeus adds a sense to the famous sentence of Shakespeare "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy". I have never expected a company like Amadeus might be for real.

Cons

As Amadeus is a big joke I can't write seriously about this company: Once upon a time, in a far away country, there was a company, forgotten by engineers, skills, knowledge and healthy working environment. The company was ruled by a caste, that was blocking any promotion of a non-french persons. The ruling caste spent most of their time on internal games, and lying around. They were also hunting for naive, newly graduated IT students to make them slaves and calmly apply to any order they get. Actually it didn't have to be IT students, it could be whatever, if it was called grande ecole. And then in the IT company you could meet people from Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Biology... But the lowest level were contractors... The contractors should be happy the company allowed them to breath! The slave works in two modes: fixing bugs in a spaghetti code, or eat lunch. Don't dare to talk to your lord if you are a slave! He may decide to cut your head! You are given your paddle so sit and row to move the galley! It doesn't mother you bring them a moto-engine to move the galley way faster, with half costs! Progress means problems! You are thrown away from the board into the sea, to be eaten by sharks!!!

Pros

You'll never get fired. If you want to earn money without much effort, this is the place. If you speak French, you progress very quickly within Amadeus!

Cons

I dont know where to start! Projects are never completed on time and still no one cares. Management is very incompetent. There is hardly any lateral hiring so you dont find fresh ideas coming into the organisation. Some people have been there since decades and just want to retire there. Not at all ambitious. Absolutely no career progression, the management doesnt even encourage it. There is no transparency, often we get to know things from customers rather than our own management. Office is horribly located and facilities are terrible. If you complain about food or toilet facilities, you are told not to use them! The only way to progress is by speaking French and often thats what they speak during meetings even if not everyone present speaks French. Training catalogue never has any new trainings but just a list of old, overly-repeated ones. Work done in Amadeus has no value outside, it only helps within Amadeus products. During my job interview, I was promised a lot of things and NONE of those were true. Management is highly racist and sexist as well.
