Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information regarding Santander's promotion practices or bonus amounts, especially concerning the promotion from AN1 to AN2 or the specific bonus figures in Europe. The discussions in the provided context do not cover this particular detail about Santander.

For accurate and up-to-date information on Santander's promotion timelines and bonus structures, it would be best to look for recent threads on the Wall Street Oasis forums or reach out directly to current or former Santander employees who might be able to share their experiences.

Can confirm untrue in US and UK, both had reasonable bonuses and 100% promotions. Can not speak for regional offices.

 

Nah I was not a grad, transferred over. But I know the grads typically do 1-2 years and then only become AN1

 

The 15k bonus is not a full bonus. It's about 1/3 of the grads full bonus since the graduates have only been at their desks for a few months. They start in September, and bonuses are paid in the winter, so they've only been working for a few months, hence small bonus. Last year, Santander's bonuses in the UK were higher than those of most BBs. Also, grads are promoted to AN2 after finishing grad scheme.
