Great people, questionable leadership

Pros

Multicultural environment, and very flexible work environment. Some really great technology to support customers, and an impressive customer base. Benefits and pay were good, but not a lot of room for pay growth after you've joined.

Cons

Not much of a future for North America unless a competitor fails. Almost all of their recent market share growth has been due to external factors, not the company's efforts. The last big win was Southwest, and they promptly fired the guy who won that deal. Company moves at a snail's pace. Important decisions sometimes take months and years to make. Still using some of the oldest technology known to mankind. Blackberry and Lotus Notes were obsolete five years ago, but not at Amadeus. Expense reports require receipts taped on all sides to a sheet of paper, mailed to Miami, and manually reconciled for eventual approval and payment. Ever hear of scanning or an expense management system? Just about everyone hired into a senior position during the last three years or so came from a competitor, many bringing their former company's culture along for the ride. Company says it has a vision, but it's poorly communicated and executed once it gets to the director and senior manager level. Objectives for the year routinely wouldn't be set until March or April, and even then it was probably because it would hold up paying out the annual bonuses for managers.

Pros

okayish salary; free food; other employee benefits

Cons

No travel. Poor management Here, all nonsense ppl travel to france like a personal trip of theirs...where a bunch of 5-6 idiots are sent abroad while a developer sits in india doing coding. Even after asking repeatedly for a onsite, he/she is told that they will be sent on need basis. God knows when that need is going to come. You can see managers and team leads travelling for no reasons and when you ask them for a onsite, or a knowledge transfer, they tell you to have a video conference!! While the same rules do not apply for them. They make sure they travel atleast once a year grabbing all possible opportunities of others in the team. Really a sick management. Sick HR team. Sick policies. Overall, sick work. Frustrated to the core. De-motivating environment.

Pros

Leadership management company that help people to develop themselves Finance driven company which has pro and con; But very performing Finance department. Innovation and developmenet of new product/project is a reality in Amadeus. Compensations and social advantages are good Salary wise, outstanding for the Social benef French riviera is a wondeful place to leave for people who love sea and mountain, hiking and sailing, skying and swimming

Cons

Carrier progression has become slower and his more and more difficult Technology wise the company may not be in the right decade Place to leave in outrageously expensive. nearly impossible to "buy" something decent. You'll have to rent.
