Pros

Ok pay for France. Nice cafeteria and free coffee. Nice people in Research and Development.

Cons

This workplace is like a satire of what can go wrong in corporate management. Mediocrity is rewarded and people have to become mindless cheerleaders to survive. Usability is lowest priority in Amadeus products because there is a market monopoly, and it’s very difficult to make an impact if you’re ambitious. If middle management do anything at all, they will always add layers of complex processes, they never make anything simpler. I’m currently in an Agile team with daily stand ups with people who are working on different projects and products than me. We share no interdepencies but we have to listen to each other every day. Completely bizarre and not agile at all. I’m surprised by the recent 5 star reviews because employee satisfaction is currently at 16/100 according to the most recent survey. People are very unhappy in this workplace and complain about management all the time.

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.
