Organisation très bien gérée qui exaltait la gestion des risques, mais finalement trop tolérante envers les intimidateurs et les harceleurs sexuels. - Avis employé Investment Banking Managing Director Santander

Bonus based on performance. The company always put on events for the employees. Great work environment

Work long days. And sometimes weekends. Not much room for growth

Some talented coworkers doing their best despite the environment.

My experience at Santander was defined by constant confusion, poor leadership, and a complete lack of strategic clarity. Information from management is frequently unclear, contradictory, or changes with little to no explanation. Priorities shift so often that it becomes nearly impossible to execute meaningful work or see projects through to completion. Long‑running initiatives are regularly abandoned midway, only to pivot toward new “urgent” goals that are later changed again. This creates an environment of perpetual chaos rather than progress. There is little transparency around decision‑making, and employees are left to deal with the fallout of constantly moving targets. Compensation is underwhelming compared to the demands and stress of the role. Leadership at the middle‑management level can be particularly challenging, with some managers creating an unnecessarily hostile or dismissive work environment instead of providing support or direction. Overall, the culture feels reactive rather than strategic, with a heavy emphasis on optics over actual outcomes. If you are looking for stability, clear communication, or leadership that empowers teams, you will likely be disappointed. Cons: Disorganized leadership, constantly shifting priorities, poor communication, low compensation, stressful culture.
