Avantages
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.
Inconvénients
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.
