Better to work in one of their continental European offices than London - Corporate Finance ING Employee Review

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.

Pros

Horizontal culture, very European with manageable work life balance.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, endless layers of bureaucracy, disconnected senior management, and lack of a meritocracy are the key cons.
