2 interviews with each time two people. i got a very good idea of the activities i was expected to perform. process took a little bit longer as with other banks.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Santander (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
Online forms with no question. Took very long to come back to me after doing the tests (they recruit for the graduate programs first which is why they took so long). Telephone interview fairly easy but very standardised with little to no room for discussion. Assessment centre (new version) based on a case study sent a few days in advance. It was about the acquisition of a company. On the day, role play to amend the prepared presentation, group exercise, presentation and interview.
I was very disappointed to find out I didn't get it especially as the feedback I received was very positive. Overall very good process, a bit slow.
