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

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Very enjoyable internship... Location not so much

      Actuarial intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture is very relaxed and the environment is friendly. I was just an intern but I felt as if I were treated with the same level of resprect as a full time hire. As an actuarial intern with no exams they paid quite well and they made it fun for interns as far as outings and out of work events go. The formal intern program is really helpful, managers are nice, and the company is very reputable. I definitely enjoyed my summer at ING. The newly built facility in Windsor, CT is also very nice. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend.

      Cons

      Location, location, location!!! Hartford is probably the most boring place I've ever been and in fact this is why I'm avoiding a full time job here. As much as I loved the company, I can't see my self 21 years old living in Hartford. Its more of a city for those with families that are looking to settle down and live a slow paced life. Its a nice place but not exactly the ideal environment for a new college graduate/entry level hire. In fact, I here that this is a big problem that the insurance industry has (good talent not wanting to live in Hartford). As far as the company itself, I cant think of anything bad to say.

      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.
