Pluspunten
+ Not very demanding, steady job. + Very relaxed atmosphere (and I mean _very_), a typical day of a typical Amadeus developer: 9:30 - arrival to work 10:00 - 10:15 - coffee break 12:00 - 13:30 - lunch 13:30 - 14:00 - coffee break 16:00 - 16:15 - coffee break 18:00 - go home + Great work/life balance. + Really sunny area. + Mostly friendly people.
Minpunten
- Not a very demanding job - it's not a place for achievers and dynamic people. - Just like at any other mediocre big company - politics, many small-minded people. - Most are not exactly experts on coding or management. - Severe lack of management and people skills on all levels - confrontation avoidance, lack of communication, occasional yelling. - People trash talk each other behind their backs and form cliques, management plays along. - Very very slow career progression or none at all. - For many people Amadeus is the only employer that they ever had. - Core technology is quite oldish and in-house, and over-all not very exciting. - Typical work distribution: 45% - bug investigation 45% - meetings about specifications and work coordination with other teams 10% - actual coding - Serious problems with transportation in general; rush hours in Sophia are the really bad. - All around it's nothing but villages and small towns (!!!). - Salaries for developers are quite low. - Everything takes ages. - Many people, often straight from universities, have far more confidence than knowledge - it's like working in Idiocracy. - Distrust, backstabbing, slander and fakeness are more common than at any company that I worked ever before.
