Pros

Company provides good opportunities for growth within the company, it´s a very good place to build a career, providing constant access to training. High demands and work under pressure, if you succeed here you'll be prepared to work in any banking company

Cons

Low compensation, high workload, especially operational or bureaucratic that makes it difficult to business management and customer orientation

Pros

One of the biggest banks in Europe and Worldwide. International Opportunities Good work-life balance. If you are in Madrid HQ and have schedule flexibility, you can enjoy the gym and practice other sports.

Cons

In the end your are working for a retail bank, and management focuses on developping this segment. Global Banking & Markets (which is like IB for Santander) is going through a review and is not considered key, so think about it if you want to pursue an IB career. I would not recommend starting in Santander

Pros

Overall is good company. Nice cafeteria inside the premises, which of course I like most. Salary is good. Of course based on the grade.

Cons

To stay and grow with this company one need to be bilingual. Too many consulting companies without proper roles and responsibilities defined
