I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Santander (Milton Keynes, England) in Jun 2016
Interview
Assessment centre consisting of a 30 min competency based interview and 30 min presentation exercise. They gave me data on a fictional bank running a scheme and asked me to prepare and give a presentation on the main risks to the scheme.

Question 1
Describe a time where you have adapted under pressure?
The application process is pretty standard and straightforward: after sending the initial online application and submitting the tests I got to the telephone interview stage. However, I did not receive a call on the specified date and time. It turned out that they tried to contact me on the wrong number, despite the fact that I mentioned the number to call a few times. They apologised though and we agreed on a different date. The interview itself was quite easy and straightforward, with 3 competancy based questions (required to show leadership, teamwork and other soft skills) and 3 motivational questions. So, I`m waiting for their responce now.
