Palpable Score

73.7

/ 100

Santander offers several real early-career entry points across countries, including graduate programmes, apprenticeships, internships, and rotational tracks that lead into permanent roles. Santander is clearer than many banks on the “what happens next” part of applications in some markets, but the level of transparency and candidate experience consistency varies across the wider group. Outcomes look promising through structured post-graduation placement pathways, but Santander publishes limited cohort-level data on conversion, retention, and promotion.
