Wie zijn je collega's?

Verandering is de enige constante, en daarvoor moet je blijven leren, ontwikkelen en kijken of dingen anders kunnen.
Ewoud Zanders Product Owner

Er zijn altijd nieuwe systemen en technieken die wij kunnen inzetten bij ons werk. We zijn telkens aan het innoveren, daardoor blijf ik mezelf uitdagen.
Aaron Kieboom Software-ontwikkelaar

Wiskunde gaat over problemen oplossen met logica, niet over getallen. In mijn werk gaat vooral om het menselijk gedrag achter de cijfers. Dat voorspel ik met de modellen die ik bouw.
Bartjan Happel IT-engineer (QRM-expert)

We hebben zo veel technieken en programmeertalen in huis. En we ontwikkelen steeds weer nieuwe producten. Als IT’er kun je bij ABN AMRO onmogelijk vastroesten.
Benthe Hagemeijer IT engineer Tikkie

Wereldwijd is ABN AMRO een van de drie grootste clearing-partijen. Toch is ons team niet enorm, dát maakt het zo uniek om hier te werken.
Marcus van Bergen Software Engineer

​​​Het idee blijft dat je heel technisch moet zijn voor IT-werk. Toch zie ik dat anders: het is júist een creatief vakgebied.
Manuela Fokkema Product owner

De combinatie tussen probleemoplossend denken en technologie vind ik het leukste wat er is.
