Pros

Some extremely interesting projects, lots of bright and hard working colleagues Amadeus is a clear leader in its market and has kept growing and stayed profitable despite the many crisis in the airline industry over the last 15 years. Opportunities to go abroad

Cons

Too many hierarchical levels and too much office politics (network sometimes seems more important than competences to get promoted). Too many reviews/change boards/processes slows down work and frustrates more and more people. Despite ongoing good results of the company, employee benefits and profit sharing are deteriorating every year

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.
