      Micromanaging Nightmare

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only pro about this place is that its a job.

      Cons

      Micromanaging nightmare! Management sends out an email (seen it with my own eyes) to all the managers to advise on the time you came in to work, when you leave your desk for breaks, when you return, where you went, who you talked to, and when you left for the day (that's not all). Its a backstabbing environment, so you cant even trust other employees because they will push you in front of a bus to save themselves (you tell on you too). Management hires people that are bottom kissers experience does not matter. New employees are paid a lot more than you and I mean a lot more. Its almost worth quitting and applying again. Management cant even do your job if they had to.

      Pros

      Great coworkers. Fell in love with the Spanish culture. Free parking. Great omelets in the caferteria.

      Cons

      The expats do not understand the US regulatory culture. This will continue to prove problematic (no way they pass the stress test next year). All software development is done in Spain. No accountability for delays. They are adopting Agile methodologies but it's Agile in name only. Death by meetings. Bottom line: micromanagement culture, late hours, little recognition. They talk the talk but don't follow through. The best way I can describe it is getting hit by a tsunami daily and trying to resolve the issue, getting 80% done and the next tsunami hits. Day after day, month after month. Very stressful.

      Professionalism at Santander

      Early stage and midrange manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      very little unless you have a newer Manager whom seems to care, they move those to other departments

      Cons

      Professionalism and treatment from Managers for the one I have been with has been disrespectful. Very petty, and will the favorites that person chooses. Very disparaging and when ask for assistance only that manger can do, the answer is What, in a tone that you would not say to a dog. If they put this manager elsewhere it would help, because of length of time , they will not.
