Amadeus reviews

1. Management did not provide me with any plan to gain proficiency in this role or in the travel industry. As a software engineer, lacking domain knowledge of the travel industry can make it challenging to thrive in this company. 2. Recommendations made by engineers, leads, and architects are often overridden by the "business". 3. The company's business model typically only prioritizes improvements if they are paid for by partners, resulting in infrequent common upgrades to applications and services. The software framework versions are also outdated. 4. During my code review, I noticed poor code quality, with few standards, inadequate unit tests, no code validation, and other issues. 5. There is a culture of defensiveness among many engineers which leads to hostility towards suggestions for improvement and complaints to management. This creates a hostile work environment that causes anxiety. 6. The company is reluctant to approve travel and offers limited support for continuing education to enhance skills. 7. Some leads express frustration with HR and the company's hiring practices. Instead of dismissing a non-trusted engineer, they are passed around to different departments. 8. The company's long-standing employees do not necessarily indicate a positive work environment, as some have become overly defensive, making it challenging to introduce new ideas. 9. The company discourages personal work, writing, and speaking at conferences, and mentioning these interests may lead to complaints to management from other developers.
