Pros

Will sponsor for licenses and pay for CFA society dues. Pay is pretty decent. The culture in the Denver office was extremely way too layed back. They do give you a lot of flex time. Have a decent facility with a gym. They took care of all my annual dues for my professional licenses, 7, 63, 24, CFA; which can become pretty expensive. Used to also have very good holiday parties until this past year. Small group in Denver and it was a pretty close knit group of professionals that for the most part got along very well. Seemed to be very supportive of your family.

Cons

far to many meetings; every decision from strategy down to where to go to lunch is decided by having a meeting to discuss. Then you usually have a post meeting to discuss the effectiveness of the prevous meeting. Too much politics going on in the group. Found a few of the executives to not be very knowledgable and/or caring. They seemed to disappear for long perionds of time. As I said before, everything seemed to run off of meetings. Way too many meetings and they'd bring into the meetings that weren't even relevant. Not very honest and upfront when it came to bonus expectations and or salary reveiws.

Pros

the company is relatively stable in the financial turmoil. the experience may help secure better jobs in the future. time are flexible. lots of study times, which are almost free ptos if exam is not a problem, -- not for everyone. no need to work over time, if one chooses to. but of course that is related to the cons in ING. other personal reasons.

Cons

very opaque in promotion. hard to know who has what title. people spend great time and energy to get close to the management. all these are very disgusting. not all the people can get all the benefits of actuary study hours. and for some it's hard to pass the exam.

Pros

Large, international company with lots of room for advancement. There are many opportunities to help you balance work and your home life, such as telecommute options. Parking or a bus pass is provided free of charge for basic parking 1-2 blocks from the building. If you're willing to pay a little bit for parking, you have options for better parking based on seniority and a waiting list, and the costs are subsidized. The bonus structure is comparable with others in the industry, and the paid time off policies are generous. It was not difficult in my area to get a timely request for vacation approved.

Cons

Most of the advancement is into middle management where you get a lot more work with very little additional pay, and you don't get to use the skills you gained as a lower level employee since most managers are glorified paper pushers. The pay scales could be improved for workers with skills above and beyond basic customer service. Heath insurance benefits are getting more and more expensive every year no matter where you work, but it seemed like they were more expensive at ING than other places that I've worked for lower quality coverage. Communication from upper management to middle management could be improved, and from middle management to "regular" employees could really use a boost.
