Pros

Easy work, you don't need to much more than update a ticket, change one line of code, have 3 hours meeting to talk about the change and then do it all over again. Easy career path, you only need to do what your boss ask.

Cons

- Majority of the software are old and obsolete or are being recycle. - Munich pretends to provide a sense of innovation, but only a selected group of people will make all the decision about what technology and how to use it and, you have to follow with no questions ask. - You don't have a good feeling about talk with HR to solve any problem, because is normal you feel that this action will create more problem to yourself. - Munich has a huge problem with decision making and is normal projects blow up many deadlines or change completely from the original scope. - Munich don't use as default market standards for software development since the concept of the project to the final product development. For example: on the interview they will say that any project uses agile methodologies for the development but, they forgot to mention that in their methodologies, tasks have zero description of what needs to be done. You can say that they use agile methodologies but is far different of what your will be used to. - Also is normal you see people handle to many roles, special in lead position. - At last, if you open any ticket on the IT helpdesk it will take more than 2 weeks or months to be solve or completely forget by them if you don't email or call them every day.
