Pros

- great atmosphere - company cares (benefits, taking time off) - diversity in the workforce, not in terms of nationalities but more in terms of disciplines (engineers, mathematicians, accountants, financial analysts, meteorologists)

Cons

- employee turnover is almost equal to zero; many people only know the "Munich RE way" whereas some outside views might benefit the company
