Santander - HR Department

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is pretty good. Pay is decent. Bonus can be expected. Most people try as hard as they can and to the best of their abilities.

Cons

Inefficient senior management, too many office politics, no sense of direction, unreasonable workloads. Stupidity is commonplace, expected, and rewarded. ER does nothing to help any employee regardless of section of the bank, Business Partners are constant cogs in the wheel, talent management is almost non-exsistent, recruiting is useless, learning and development can't get it together, and I would like to know what compensation does. The only good group seems to be Payroll.

Pros

I was very pleased with the financial benefits: The pay was at the top end of the industry standard and I received a very sizeable bonus each year - a full 15% of my salary. The company is extremely well organized and focused primarily on gaining a foothold in the US. Subsequently there is no shortage of work or opportunities to move around to gain more experience within the company.

Cons

Anyone looking for a pat on the back or who requires job well done motivational therapy need not apply. You will be worked hard and in a fairly impersonal manner. Whether this is responsible for the high turnover I couldn't say but certainly the sensitivities of employees was not high on management's list. The cultural difference of working for a Spanish organization takes a little getting used to resulting in much getting lost in translation.
