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'.

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.
