Pros

Almost none if you are male. If you are smart ambitious and well-connected woman from an elite business school, you may go far, since the management team are becoming all female and they promote profile females.

Cons

Very little chance to get promoted. If you do get on a career development plan, they make you jump through so many hoops to then defer your promotion for another six months or longer.. and then if you finally get it, they dont pu up your salary straight away. When they eventually do give you a rise, it is usually peanuts while the senior management team rake in massive bonuses. The company is not what it used to be and they are looking now to cut costs as their main cash cow line of business is slowly dying. Then they obsess over things like engagement surveys which they use to fire you. Terrible.

Pros

Interesting industry International vibe Travel Work life balance I have worked in various sites of amadeus and even if it has its disadvantages, my comments here are exclusive for the Dallas office (Airline American HQs). It would not be fair to extend this comment to all the sites as in those I have found extremely valuable people and management and in general I think I would still recommend Amadeus as a company to work for (not in Dallas!)

Cons

HR is the most incompetent gang I have found in my entire career Salaries are not competitive Full of bureacracy Mediocre management No career path HR is the most sneaky group of people I have faced in my entire career. They basically trick people from Europe to come here without market references and thereby low wages. As soon as people understand they have been tricked (as I was), they run away given that HR's only answer is going to be: you should have negotiated better. Absolutely useless gang of people that could not care less about employees Management in the Airline side of things (Dallas office) is full of mediocre people that came there either by chance (simply because they were long enough) or pushing all sort of tricky tactics. As a result, we have an office with no direction, managed by people that only take care of positioning themselves properly and full of people that are not motivated and run like headless chickens. In general: - middle management (team leaders) are not suited for the job - Upper management (here I remove the office responsible as I believe she is trying to improve things) is simply full of politics that could not care less about the company or their people's future Needless to say that salaries or benefits are not competitive in the US market (I would say in any market but specially here)
