Great perks, but struggling to keep up to date

Pros

- Great location for the R&D site (Sophia Antipolis); - Possibility to have a real work/life balance (unless you want to progress fast in the company); - Competitive salary for the region; - Good perks, including 30 days vacation (plus 5-10 days of additional vacation - RTT - as per French law); - The company is really pushing itself to be innovative and catch up with new tech companies, but it may still take long to reach this goal;

Cons

- Currently, there is a clear lack of engineering culture. Amadeus has a strong focus on finding the best business solution for the customers, but technology and software engineering comes as a second class activity. Hopefully the company acknowledges it has to improve on this point and is pushing hard for changing; - Heterogeneity: it is common to see some teams with a great working environment; while others are struggling with huge technical debt and lack of resources. Chose well your team if you join the company; - General "big company" problems such as bureaucracy and inertia to implement changes.

Pros

There are many reasons to work for Amadeus. For starters: - Top-class professional challenges - as the leading IT company in travel industry - Frequent training programs, certifications, opportunity to learn latest technology - Above average salaries - if you are senior and you made a good deal when signing the contract - Very well established procedures for everything: technology (such as automation or strictly defined workflows) and personal (such as salary raise, promotions, benefits, etc) - A lot of competent colleagues to work with. People from all around the world who have a lot of knowledge in their area

Cons

Due to the size of the company and the size of the data center(s) - sometimes changes take too much time and a lot of effort is needed to implement such changes. But this is also a positive aspect, if you consider it as a professional challenge. Another disadvantage, for me personally, is location - specifically Erding. The company is in the middle of corn fields, and most of the time there is really nothing interesting to do, unless you are an agriculture fan, so maybe you could enjoy all those fields... Shops are never open when I have free time, and everything else closes very early. E.g. the swimming pool closes at 18h, Erdino amusement center closes at 19h, so by 20h - everything is closed and the town looks like Raccoon City in RE. Complete boredom, 95% of the year.
