I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Applied online and got through to the interview stage after an initial screening call (30mins) with HR.
The interview itself - as I understand is usually a 2 stage interview- 1st with 2 senior managers and then the final with another senior manager/ director.
However in my case, my first and only interview was with 3 senior managers - this was to make the interview/ application process faster though did feel a bit more pressured.
Heard back with an offer 2 days after the interview.
