Santander Corporate & Investment Banking London

Hi, could anyone provide some first-hand insights about Santander’s CIB Sector Teams in London? 

Trying to understand the team’s positioning and recent trajectory given their rapid build-out and they have been hiring talent from top-tier institutions such as CS.

Keen to know more about: 
• Overall ranking and competitiveness in IB landscape
• Reputation and deal flow
• Junior exposure
• Culture
• Compensation
• Longer-term opportunities

Any perspective would be greatly appreciated.
