Santander LA updated info

I’m summer at a (mid-tier) BB and my buddy from school ended up taking a spot Santander LA. He claims they’re absolutely crushing it. They grind but the team is great with a really good culture and as summers they’re working interesting live deals. Has anyone heard similar things about them?

Have heard mixed things - definitely long hours, most recent I heard quality of deals isn't great despite decent number, could definitely be outdated tho this was closer to late last year.  Would take any BB except UBS over them, especially for exit purposes.
