I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
Spoke with HR to review qualifications briefly and then moved on to speak with an area manager. Was told he would get back to me but didn’t. Later HR calls to tell me that the branch in Brooklyn was doing so poor they put an internal candidate there. A few days later HR sends and email to tell me to go to an open house to meet the same Area manager I met with prior?
2 rounds of interview. The first is with District Manager and the second with Regional manager. Basic interview questions to go over skills set, why you think you would be a great fit, and situational based questions.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
It was a 4 part process. First I received a call from the recruiter with a few basic questions about my resume. Tell me about yourself, what do you currently do at your job now, why are you looking to leave your current job. Then I met with the DE (Division Exec) in person. That is your potential new manager. It was very conversational. They asked me a few questions. Tell me about yourself, how would you describe your leadership style. Then spoke about the position, their market, their vision for the market. Third interview was with another DE from a different market. This was over the phone. They said they wanted to do it over the phone since they understood that candidates held jobs and were not able to leave their current job so many times. (That was nice) This interview was very traditional. Many questions. Last interview was over the phone as well this time was with the Region Executive (your new managers manager) Very nice gentleman.
