Pros

Job security, very relaxed job environment, no overtimes, sunny part of Europe

Cons

With Amadeus you'll get nowhere, not professionally, not geographically. You won't learn anything new, the coding part is not really challenging, you'll become lazy and your skills will go downhill. Forget about promotion, unless you're a graduate of some elite French university. As a developer you most probably won't even be transferred abroad, that's just for business people. Salary is very average, taxes high - the French republic will rob you on every corner. Regarding the people .. they behave like high schoolers! It's shocking that someone in their 30s or late 20s can behave in such an immature way. It's all gossip, cliques two facedness and brown nosing, no desire to achieve anything. Really horrible people. French Riviera is maybe fine for a few days vacation, but one of the worst choices for living if you're young.

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.
