Working environment

At ABN AMRO, we strive to be a personal bank in a digital age. Within the Personal Banking Grid we work on this strategy every day, and we do that in a DevOps environment. We strive that our customers can work fully digital, on their computer and phone.

We love to share knowledge and to challenge each other, for example by sharing our expertise in our blog, during the events of our developer community and by organising hackathons. 

We regard hybrid working as the new normal. This gives you the flexibility to decide when and where you can work most comfortably and effectively. Of course, we offer you the right resources you need in order to set up a good home office. For example, an ergonomic chair, desk and laptop.
