Pros

Work from anywhere policy (limited), pension, 25 floating holidays for employees in Benelux region. The company has organized processes.

Cons

This company’s culture is money first, … end of sentence. Since joining Amadeus, HR and senior management have whittled away at what benefits, compensation, and a productive, fun working structure our unit had. I have witnessed many employees’ lives be disrupted by poor compensation offers or adjustments based on outdated market data averages that don’t appreciate real-life cost of living circumstances. My closest colleagues face ongoing stress in their personal lives due to poor compensation and minimal benefits that are an insult to high-performers. There are many employees who receive compensation above their tier’s salary band, though others are told that they cannot earn more due to such bands presenting a limit. What hypocrisy! Many benefits that we were told would be maintained, such as professional talk therapy coverage, have been eliminated (this should tell you what they think about employee wellbeing). As an expert recruiter would know, an ambitious employee should be promoted every 12-18 months, though we are not permitted to be considered for promotion before 24 months- effectively meaning that career progression is slothful. Which few people I have seen promoted in the last 24 months from our business group have strictly been white males while folks of other demographics have proven their worthiness for recognition and reward.

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.
