Pros

It's hard to get fired

Cons

In the engineering department, Amadeus has 3 classes of people: 1) Grande Ecole graduates 2) other French 3) foreigners. The first group gets promoted rapidly, the second group gets promoted after 5+ years at the company, the last group never gets promoted and is constantly pushed to learn French despite Amadeus being a multinational company with English as a official working language. Foreigners are hired only as foot soldiers doing all the 'dirty' work for the French elite. In engineering there's no career, at most it's possible to become a team leader (if you're French). Engineers are not transferred abroad either. Salary doesn't grow. All tools and codebase are a mess and broken. It's the same crap over and over again. Contractors behave like employees, don't expect any respect from them just because you're staff.

Pros

Job security, very relaxed job environment, no overtimes, sunny part of Europe

Cons

With Amadeus you'll get nowhere, not professionally, not geographically. You won't learn anything new, the coding part is not really challenging, you'll become lazy and your skills will go downhill. Forget about promotion, unless you're a graduate of some elite French university. As a developer you most probably won't even be transferred abroad, that's just for business people. Salary is very average, taxes high - the French republic will rob you on every corner. Regarding the people .. they behave like high schoolers! It's shocking that someone in their 30s or late 20s can behave in such an immature way. It's all gossip, cliques two facedness and brown nosing, no desire to achieve anything. Really horrible people. French Riviera is maybe fine for a few days vacation, but one of the worst choices for living if you're young.

Pros

there's no work discipline at amadeus - feel free to take advantage of it however you want

Cons

I was facing verbal abuse and passive aggression at this company so no I would not recommend it to anyone the HR is totally useless, only for recruitment and salary managers practice one way communication and don't care what employees on lower levels are doing unless it affects them personally employees on lower levels are free to play political games, intimidate and abuse each other - it's a toxic workplace filled with many small-minded mean fake coworkers I had to work hard to catch up with the current technology once I left to be employable - at amadeus my skills went downhill
