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.

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

Pros

Stable & secure Almost no overtimes

Cons

- Amadeus is the center of everyone's lives - people spend work-time at Amadeus, after work they spend time at home alone, or they meet Amadeus friends, and at parties they often talk about Amadeus stuff. - It's like a high-school. People are old enough to have families but many act quite immature and definitely they're not the people that can inspire you and push you forward, more like pull you down with their petty jealousies and drama over non-issues. - Living there and working there is amazingly boring. There's literally nothing exciting happening. Nowhere. Go there if you want to relax and do nothing. - Technology is old, in-house, and although I was a developer it felt very bureaucratic. Core system developers almost don't write code and create anymore, just fix bugs and 'tune'.
