Pros

Good benefits package: free meals and insurance Cool offices: ING branding, relaxing zones and beautiful garden Costumer-focus staff Flexibility to get in the office from 7-10 am Positive people

Cons

My feeling is dissatisfaction comparing expectations created through interviews vs reality Recruitment process took so long that I would suggest gathering interviewers at the same time - had to visit ING headquarters over 5 times Once landed, reality does not correspond to what you have been told: +Continuous business blockades +Constant meetings dragging on +Change prioritisation +Lack of IT resources which does not let initiatives advance +No professional career across ING areas +It is given more importance to what time you leave the office instead of measuring your productivity (I am surprised by finding the same people dedicating 2 hours to take several coffees on a daily basis, people who does not approve people leaving sooner without taking into consideration at what time you start) Please, track on people demands: real flexibility such as providing 1 or 2 days work-from-home options, avoid that "in-the-office" policy and give tools to make people perform the same tasks at home and implement an effective agile model
