Amadeus reviews

In the engineering department, Amadeus has 3 classes of people: 1) Grande Ecole graduates 2) other French 3) foreigners. The first group gets promoted rapidly, the second group gets promoted after 5+ years at the company, the last group never gets promoted and is constantly pushed to learn French despite Amadeus being a multinational company with English as a official working language. Foreigners are hired only as foot soldiers doing all the 'dirty' work for the French elite. In engineering there's no career, at most it's possible to become a team leader (if you're French). Engineers are not transferred abroad either. Salary doesn't grow. All tools and codebase are a mess and broken. It's the same crap over and over again. Contractors behave like employees, don't expect any respect from them just because you're staff.

The workload is very different among the different departments, some are overloaded, in others people are looking movies during workn hours... Poor management, there is no reward for the results provided. Career development is just for French people or friends of other manager: if you are not in these categories you will be just their slave. No ethics: people are hired with different positions than the ones discussed during the interview. Contractors are pushed to work harder for being hired, but this is never happening
