Pros

Decent base pay for the amount of experience required to get the job. Decent benefits. A large company that isn't going away anytime soon. Backed by Banco Santander. A guaranteed paycheck.

Cons

Recruiters exaggerate bonus structures leading you to think you will be paid more than you actually get. Rigid HR that isn't willing to budge in extenuating circumstances. No tuition reimbursement. No raises unless you get a promotion. Company changes priorities daily.

Pros

Can't think of a single good reason to work there. Avoid with all your might. Looks good from the outside, rotten inside.

Cons

Shockingly bad senior management that changes all the time as career Santander big wigs see it as a less glamorous stop on their career path. Current leader gets all those around him to do all his thinking and work. Constant reorganisations and downsizing. Targets unachievable. IT support non existent. Treat staff like a dispensable commodity. No redeeming features whatsoever.
