Where will I work?

What is the Intesa Sanpaolo team like?
"In Intesa Sanpaolo you will join an international group with over 400 years of history. An innovative organisation with strong roots in the territories, where people are the real force to face any change." The welfare system is "an innovative system, also developed in collaboration with trade unions, which includes supplementary social security, supplementary health care, permits and leave to reconcile life and work, economic benefits and projects dedicated to specific needs." Active recruitment events include Luiss Career Day, Career Day PoliMI, UniTrento Career Fair, and Federico II Job Fair.
Work-Life Balance
"Since 2023, Intesa Sanpaolo has introduced a cutting-edge model to balance work and private life for the Group's people operating in Italy, based on schedule flexibility, smart working, short week, leave and absences." On a voluntary basis, employees can spread the work commitment over 9 hours for 4 days a week, with equal pay (a "short week" 4-day option). The Banca del Tempo provides an annual pool of paid leave-of-absence hours for employees facing serious situations beyond standard entitlement.
