Pros

A very stable job. Climate is fine.

Cons

It's a company of losers. I can't say it otherwise, the mediocrity of people working here is staggering. They are not only crappy engineers, if they are even engineers at all, but they even totally lack ambition and drive. Completely uncompetitive people holding onto their positions while gossipping about coworkers and pretending to be important, doing the same thing over and over again, every day, since they came here. Career? What's that? You can be lucky if after 7 years you get one level up or at least to a different country. "Employee mobility" hahaha, what a joke. The company is literally filled with people working here for 15+ years! Developers' salary is ok for new grads, but it doesn't grow at all, except for inflation adjustments, so after 3 years it's below average. Your best choice is to get a job elsewhere, because in Amadeus you'll never get a raise or a promotion. Unless you have a diploma from a top university. Then it's enough to know how to sign yourself, and they'll make you a senior manager. It's preposterous. Meritocracy? Never heard of it. Job is otherwise very boring, and codebase and documentation are a total mess.

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.
