Pros

Good Salary, Sweet Talk and time space

Cons

They are secretly inefficient to hire people from different nationalities because they would choose to not sponsor visa over a person’s talent, ability and qualifications. Very biased and if this is how a company works then stop sugarcoating and just say we are looking for people from the following nationalities, because that comes first,

Pros

- Smart Colleagues - Less meetings

Cons

- You gotta fight for your own progress - Culture of getting cheesy projects for themselves - People are in habit of self-appreciation and self-representation in front of senior leadership - You won't get noticed to the skip managers if you don't talk to them directly - "Rat Race" kind of culture - Some people 2-3 people would always have something to say in the team meeting even though sometimes which doesn't make sense. I don't know how bad input is counted as contribution - Lazy HRs might ghost and won't reply on time.

Pros

Munich Re has a great company benefit package, beautiful campus, nice cafeteria and awesome gym.

Cons

There is a collection of under 40year old individuals pre selected to fill future promotional positions. Otherwise, it is near impossible to progress in a career path.
