      Pros

      Self-starters may thrive here, especially with recent turnover. In the near-term your technical leadership may be rewarded if you collaborate well with technical and business teams and navigate a still-fluid organization and process.

      Cons

      Like other financial services providers who use dated systems, technology, and process, you'll be buried for the next several years documenting existing systems and making them comply. A lucky few will get to experiment with new technology, but most of you may have your hands full just keeping things running and meeting short-term business needs. Lower your expectations about working on modern tech and making any major improvements, learn the business and systems, and put yourself in position to define and lead modernization in a few years.

      Multifamily Division is 1965 Mad Men Style- RUN AWAY FAST!!!

      Pros

      There is global potential. I liked my direct boss.

      Cons

      Just horrible executive leadership in the Commercial Banking section, specifically the Multifamily business line and operations. They have a new manager in the operations unit but the existing management refuses to help him. The business line has attitude that whatever they want, they will get because they are high revenue. The broker treats most Santander employees like trash. The broker also speaks horribly of the brand that it's almost shocking this is accepted. But, it always starts with the top. The top level management frequently turns a blind eye and is only concerned with getting the job done without making sure the environment is positive and innovative. The current Multifamily executives care little about hostile environments. Human Resources interviewed me numerous times about complaints filed with Ethics line and nothing came of it.
