Pros

The spanish head of audit is nice person.

Cons

Negative culture in the the Office. The senior managers of IT Internal Audit are in constant conflict with each other in a bid to become the Head of Audit. No planning in place within this organisation with regards to planning future audits. No structured training paths for their employees. This company makes out to be a very professional environment at the interview stages, however, it is very ameratur. The seniors often lie in order to hire new employees, very high staff turnaround within this organisation. Alot of favouritism going on with regards to promotions. Seniors are very lazy and delegate unmanageable workloads to junior staff and take all the credit for the work undertaken and senior often steal ideas from juniors. No onboarding training for new employees who come from non-audit backgrounds. Management say one thing and do the exact opposite.

Pros

Of all the companies I have worked for, Santander has had the strongest training program. The training was comprehensive, well-structured, and especially valuable for employees who are new to the banking industry. Additionally, Santander's ONE software is by far the most intuitive and user friendly banking platform I have used, making it easy to learn and navigate while supporting efficient daily operations.

Cons

Like most retail banking roles, there is a strong sales component. With fewer customers visiting branches due to online banking and ATMs, much of the day is spent making outbound calls to existing clients, trying to set appointments, and push products and services. While I understand the importance of sales in the industry, I personally felt there was significant pressure to prioritize sales goals over relationship building and client service, which I was not comfortable with.
