I applied online. I interviewed at Santander in May 2021
Interview
I applied online for a position and shortly after a recruiter contacted me about my application - but for another role I never applied for. I said that I’d be happy to talk about opportunities, but would like info on the position she referenced. She scheduled the call without any additional information. Once we spoke, I asked about the position I initially applied for and was told that it was filled by an internal candidate (month later and it’s still open…). The recruiter had less than a basic level of knowledge of the role she contacted me for, couldn’t tell me the experience level and kept pressuring me for a salary. I was clearly frustrated with her and we ended with her saying she’d send me a job description. She didn’t. I received two generic email rejections the next day for the same role that I never even applied for. At least it only wasted a little of time.
Entrevista inicial con una persona que tenía ganas de colgar rápido, se veíua que tenía que hacer muchas más llamadas y que el proceso no se iba a basar realmente en lo que yo le contara.

Hands down, the worst company I have ever interviewed for!!!
I moved my diary around twice for this interview and both times, all 3 interviewees didn’t turn up, with no communication. Upon finally dialing into the interview, it was very cold, as if they didn’t want to even be there!
I felt extremely on edge because I was not made to feel welcome or comfortable, despite it being a second stage interview. It seriously makes me question the people at senior levels and interviewing. Have the decency to actually turn up and try get to know the candidate.
I’ve interviewed a lot within Financial Services and this has been hands down the worst. Avoid at all costs - if not, expect awful treatment and ghosting to top it all off! Extremely disappointing from Santander!!
