Pros

You definitely won't work yourself to death here.

Cons

Often I had to ask myself if these people are for real. Most are really incompetent - not just uneducated but also immature, acting like 15 year-olds. A lot of them have serious attitude problems, especially the younger ones. Yet they pretend to be professional and think so highly of themselves. I have a degree from an very good university and a few years of international work experience, but here I was treated like a dumb child. Not just they regularly refused to consider my expertise but I was outright disrespected and even yelled at on several occasions. All they do most of the time is talking about others. Moreover I didn't grow anywhere professionally and the French Riviera sucks for any kind of socializing, except if you like meeting the same people over and over again. Really, the worst decision in my career was to take the job at this company.

Pros

they hardly ever fire anyone, if you don't step on the wrong foot and do an 'ok' job, you can linger here forever, performance reviews are a joke, targets are set low so anyone can do it, from the technical skill point of view it's not a demanding job at all + you have a lot of free time

Cons

very political, people are secretive and backstabbing, always 'escalating' issues (shifting blame on someone else), unable to communicate directly about anything at all, many are building their own 'empires', others go there just for the paycheck, and no one really gives a damn about the work or really solving issues, they are usually nice but it's often just a facade, the more senior the worse

Pros

Stable & secure Almost no overtimes

Cons

- Amadeus is the center of everyone's lives - people spend work-time at Amadeus, after work they spend time at home alone, or they meet Amadeus friends, and at parties they often talk about Amadeus stuff. - It's like a high-school. People are old enough to have families but many act quite immature and definitely they're not the people that can inspire you and push you forward, more like pull you down with their petty jealousies and drama over non-issues. - Living there and working there is amazingly boring. There's literally nothing exciting happening. Nowhere. Go there if you want to relax and do nothing. - Technology is old, in-house, and although I was a developer it felt very bureaucratic. Core system developers almost don't write code and create anymore, just fix bugs and 'tune'.
