      Better to work in one of their continental European offices than London

      Pros

      Large organisation with ability to get plenty of experience; good, well recognised, international brand which is valuable to the CV. Aspects of it are very well run, when the bureaucratic side does not get involved.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic (some of which is utterly pointless) with seemingly totally disconnected senior management - very hard to get things done and make changes, especially in London which is seemingly disconnected from the organisation's continental base. Employees do not feel valued in the organisation as evidenced from their internal surveys and high turnover of staff.

      For financial services, it is better than most but it is time for "fresh thinking" at the top.

      Pros

      They offer the flexibility and opportunity to move into new areas of interest. Maybe it is because they are headquartered in Europe, but they seem to have an extra focus on the employees. Opportunities to work abroad exist for the persistent and patient. Majority of staff, employees more so than consultants, are both competent and customer oriented with a positive attitude. Compensation is average and benefits; paid time off , 401k match, tuition reimbursement, etc. are satisfactory. This industry, financial services, is changing rapidly and under tremendous strain. ING is in a good position to capitalize on the aftermath of the market turmoil, they are conservative and have avoided many of the mistakes of their peers.

      Cons

      It can be overly bureaucratic . As a witnesses to being absorbed by ING we all see the slow, lethargic takeover of what were once vibrant organizations. A lot of IT work gets outsourced to a point where the cost savings vanish. It takes longer to get requests fulfilled and the quality of work is less than when the work was performed by in house staff. Risk management and compliance, reign supreme, this can and often does squash creativity and risk taking. If you are a climber, who likes to think independently, this is not going to be a positive work experience for you. Promotion is almost non-existent, however you'll have plenty of opportunity to learn new skills as colleagues leave and are not replaced. Very few people rotate positions abroad, only senior management.

      Good place to start a career but not a place to make a long term career

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to start a career. If your Entry to Mid Level you will get the experience you need to get to that point from the work, not from training programs, but from digging into the work. Also the benefits are better than most large companies (insurance copay and coverage, and time off accrue).

      Cons

      The management is VERY niche orientated. Your paid according to who you know, how well you play the 'What ever you say' game, and if they like you on a personal level (not merit). Their hiring and promotion practices are very questionable and makes it difficult to stay as a long time employee, unless you like being underpaid and over worked.
