Santander Corporate and Commercial Banking Intern Review

I completed the Santander virtual experience internship for corporate and commercial banking 2020. It was a really enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend others to apply to Santander.

I felt very value during the internship. I got to learn a lot about the company, its values, its employees and the opportunities they provide. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. You can tell that they really enjoy working at Santander.

They provide a lot of support. They give you a mentor who you meet on a regular basis who provides feedback and advice for the future. My mentor was amazing and really supportive! They also provide many sessions where you can ask questions to current employees and their graduates.

I gained more experience presenting and interviewing. These were gained during the assessment centre at the end of the experience. I also was able to build my networking and public speaking skills by asking questions to the employees there.

Very well structured. HR is really amazing and put a lot of thought into the schedule of the experience. If there was anything additional you wanted to see added then they also took that feedback on board and added in those sessions for you.

Great experience. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all and it was a delightful atmosphere.

They provided me with an excellent mentor that I spoke to regularly. He provided me with great advice and insight into Santander.

I was able to talk to graduates as well as more senior employees as to what life is like at Santander. Everyone was very friendly and approachable. They provided many Q&A sessions so it was possible to ask questions at any point during the internship which was great!

The company culture came across very well despite it being a virtual experience. Everyone was incredibly nice, friendly and down to earth. It was easy to speak to the employees and they represented Santander really well.

They gave more information on corporate and commercial banking and the types of roles they offer. As well as this, they provided info on the divisions you can go into and allowed us to speak to graduates in those divisions to get more of an idea.

No reimbursement as the internship was just for 1 week.

Yes, there were many opportunities for this and many opportunities to ask questions to the employees and those more senior in the company.

There was not really any social events due to it being a very short internship. But, in future, it would be nice to have more so we can get to know each other better.

Not really any activities due to lack of time.

Definitely!!
