Pros

Good People Nice place to join various clubs and lead a balanced life. Good food at the nearby pub. Compensation is okay, given the skill needed.

Cons

There's some image decoration drive going on at the moment by the Amadeus London HR, that's why you see so many good reviews in a sequence; but if you re-read them reviews with some open mind, you will know they are all superficial. I am working with CM department so can only talk about the CM teams/code/management. The management is doing a good job of keeping the product top of the line in the market, given the amount of confidence they have in the code base or the developers or the release management. But all they do is technical/functional/release management. No emphasis is given towards people management. Another problem is - Just when you thought the regression pass rate is a joke, you come across another joke - In every other team meeting, dept level meetings, and one-to-ones the emphasis is on increasing the regression pass rate, in addition to your day-to-day dev activities. But, when you do it, going extra miles, not letting your timelines impact, it doesn't count towards your performance review. Lastly, I have not seen in my 15 years of C/C++ dev career so far, a company where confidence is so low in their own code base.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
