“We are on target with recruitment. We were 270 people in all at the end of last year, now there are 370 of us. We are constantly adding new people to our team, which will take us to our target of 500 employees by the end of next year. We will probably grow to 400 by yearend,” Marian Ion, CEO of ING Software Development Center, told ZF.
ING established its local hub two years ago and this is its only software development center.
The hub in Romania develops software solutions for the subsidiaries of the bank in more than 10 countries – Romania, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Czech Republic, Belgium, Slovakia, and Luxemburg. It concentrates on solutions that can be used in several countries, while country specific solutions are primarily developed in each country separately, Marian Ion said.
