Pros

Work life balance. Depending on the team, you may have a lot of freedom to try new things.

Cons

The R&D divisions run the company and eventually decide on the commercial strategy. Very heavy processes, micro-management, old technology stack. It takes at least 3 months to do anything in this company. But the worst lately is that, like the rest of the travel industry, Amadeus is being hurt by the pandemic. As a consequence, no more budget, layoffs, hiring freeze (except Bulgaria & India), offices being closed, etc. It will take two-three years to recover (being optimistic).

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.
