Pros

A good place for lazy people. A good place for people just want to stay a while and earn some money.

Cons

No promotion opportunities and age discrimination. All managers works more than 10 years. - Poor management. There is always no agenda in meetings. It is like a joke. - Racism, despite it promotes itself as multicultural. - Innovation is just a slogan, but the management do not appreciate it. Using the very old technology, probably the same technology as it starts 25 years ago. I can see the company is dying in some years because of the bottle-neck of old technologies. - Long working hours, which is not abiding the french law. - Below average salary, so they can hire more staffs, make it looks like a big IT company, but it is not..... it doesn't profit well each year. - No free drink, no free lunch. - Located is the remote sites with poor transportation support. Taking public transportation go and return from work, take 1 hour. - Not treating staff fairly, around 40% or the staffs are external contractors which make not loyalty and unstable work force. - bad company culture. Colleagues in different department tend not to help each other, instead, they deny the responsibilities. (I don't believe on the negative commons from others in glassdoor about Amadeus. But after working there, I totally agree with all negative comments.)

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.
