ING Hubs Philippines Reviews

Even if my company tenure is less than a year, I have a clear path of my job progression and I have the help and advice of my managers to help me achieve them. They specifically mentioned about taking in small tasks of engineers of the next level to help convince I am capable of leveling up in the company.

ING actively participates in sustainability initiatives like tree-planting and the likes as it is part of their identity as well. Moreover, there are also events wherein ING sponsors to support various noble causes.

The work culture in the office is beyond admirable. I could see that all those who work onsite are very much productive. I have also seen how they are able to manage their time well. They make sure that they have time to converse with their co-workers and they have time to take breaks together. As for the cooperation and teamwork, I have seen how they collaborate and help each other out when problems arise. Outside work, they also ensure the well-being of each and everyone, most especially in the recent calamity that hit the country.

The company is very diverse and it even celebrates its diversity every time it is possible. There are organizations within the company that also provides support for women, ethnic minorities and the LGBTIQA+ community.

My role as a graduate engineer gives me a wide range of things to do in my day-to-day. I have tasks for delivery where I am able to use my coding skills and critical thinking, and I can also choose to do initiative work where I can hone leadership, and creative thinking. My day-to-day varies, there are days that I only do delivery work or initiative work, and some days I can do a little bit of both. I also find it important to note that despite having a wide range of things to do on the daily, I do not work beyond office hours. I just find being able to choose to do different things more stimulating and fitting for my work ethic.

My managers are great mentors. They always make themselves available when I need help with something. They always check up on me to ensure that I am adjusting well and that I am doing well. They also connect me with other employees so that I can also communicate with other members of the team. Observing them as managers of the whole team, they also ensure to easily make themselves reachable. When concern arises, they are always quick to reply. In terms of internal communication or performance feedback or praise, they ensure to communicate private matters appropriately. They also have one-on-ones with each of the employee to discuss their performance and among other things. For remarkable accomplishments and performances, they announce it to the whole team. I see this as a way to motivate other employees to strive for excellence as well.

The company's offices are spectacular. They equipment (e.g., monitor, meetings rooms) helps the employees for their productivity. Other facilities such as sleeping quarters, table tennis encourage the aspect of balance between work and play. From time to time, employees also need to take a break, so they can make use of these facilities to temporarily step away from their work. With regards to the dress code, ING has policies for that. The basic premise of the dress code is that employees must be presentable at the office.

Actively pursuing this role was one of the smoothest job applications I have ever done as compared with other companies. Email replies were swift alongside processing my documents. Moreover, assessments were thorough as it also included an onsite hire-athon which really showcased a day in the life in ING.

ING's pay is very competitive with the market. The annual increase is also great. Those who work hard receive what they deserve.

There were two weeks for our foundational training where we got to know the basics of our company and its culture. After that, functional training lasted for six weeks and was done in multiple ways like a classroom training, simulations, assessments, and a job shadowing where we shadowed our Orange Professional Partners (OPPas) on how to actually do our job. With this job, one must truly be resourceful, collaborative, and analytical.

Work is very flexible given the current hybrid setup. This provides the perfect balance of maximizing work at home and in the office (which is open 24/7 as needed).

The company's Sustainability team holds out monthly sustainability initiatives (mangrove planting, shoreline trash collection) on top of year-round initiatives (carbon footprint tracking, textile donations).
