Values we look for:

With over 57,000 employees across 40 countries, there’s no predefined template for an ING employee. What unites us all is a set of shared behaviours and expectations that are part of our value system, the Orange Code.

Initiative and ownership: You take it on and make it happen

We seek people who keep their promises and take ownership of tasks, projects, and their team. Who have the ability to listen, ask questions, and speak up. Who strive to bring ideas to life and embrace challenges. People who are flexible and consistently go the extra mile.

Teamwork: Help others to be successful

We prefer big thinkers with small egos. Collaborative by nature, ING people are eager to see others succeed as much as themselves. We operate in cross-disciplinary teams with a flat structure. Mutual respect is not just an expectation, it’s the only way to get great work done.

Forward-looking: Always a step ahead

We value people who question the status quo and pose creative approaches to problems. People who can think on their feet and respond to change with aplomb. Our industry’s moving fast and we’re leading the charge. If you can adapt to new challenges as quickly, ING could be the place for you.
