Pros
Unfortunately, I had a very miserable experience at Santander in New York. They are quite effective recruiters, but once you are in, you realize you have been lied to and most of the 'facts' you were told are simply untrue. A very frustrating place to work at, with very hierarchical management that simply won't listen (many of them Spanish expats who are here for a couple of years and then leave), and a very "old school" approach to everything. Very resistant to any type of change, technology or suggestion for improvement.
Cons
Salaries (base) are low. But they promise very high bonuses that unfortunately are never achieved even if one (as in my case) exceeds sales and revenue goals by 50%! Again, a culture of lies and excuses. Extremely old fashioned place where managers will literally yell and scream at every little chance they get. I was truly miserable at this place.
