Cons
Globally Amadeus earn too much money and it doesn't put the right priority first, which gives the feeling that sometimes this company is not real and walk on the head. Sometimes it looks like a civil servant organization with a lot of money. The bad consequences are that people can do more politics than working at the company interest (like in every big human organization but here in a bigger proportion) In some countries there are a bad management culture: no accountability, empowerment, diluted responsibility... Bad management behaviors are (especially when a top manager is involved) rarely properly solved, it is usually at the cost of the employee instead of the manager.(make no waves first, no scandals...) Therefor middle management is very difficult in this environment especially when Amadeus recruit high calibers whom theirs competences are under utilized.
