Wondering the same, filled the form over the weekend still haven't heard back
Havent heard back either after filling out survey. Was also concerned about the timing as my first choice time is Friday afternoon.
Street semi-target–only networked with 1 non-alumni since my school doesn't have much representation at Santander. First round invite and time confirmed last night
Anyone alr interview?

Any non targets get interviews?
Wondering the same - non target, networked w/ 3 ppl, no first round
bump
Can someone give insight on the superday?
Had an offer so moved super day to today. Very weird behavioral, basic technicals.
Asked:
- if you could be any animal what would you be
- How would you test the combustibility of an unknown gas
- 10 ways to use phone charger aside from charging your phone
- how would you weigh an airplane without a scale
Shit ton more weird ones. None that I’ve seen before except resume walk.
No way this is real lmao
can you share more about the technicals?
Rejected just now after 1st round interview

Just had one of my two spd interviews today, second one had to reschedule to monday.
How was first one? Have both Monday
pretty conversational/behavioral
Sd tmrw any insight?
bump
When is yours?
dont be bot and ur big chilling
anything in particular to not be a bot about
Have one tomorrow as well. Any insight would be appreciated. Seems like some senior guys conducting interviews.
I had my Superday yesterday and I received the offer from Santander NY. The questions were quite weird and similar to riddles. They asked me some technicals about accretion and dilution, and an accounting question related to goodwill when the company goes down in value, and one about operating leases. This was one of the riddles: You are a detective investigating a crime scene with a magnifying glass and a piece of string. How can you crack the case? What I did was try to tie it to the valuation. The interviewer linked on the Teams meeting was different to the interviewer who showed up for the interview, and I believe that could have been done as a trick since he did not even mention it.
Dude it was sunday yesterday stfu and get a life
Thank you for the input and congrats on the offer. Quick turnaround! Seems like some funky questions.
the easiest interview of my life. just don't be a bot and you will be fine.
Are you a diversity candidate?
Nah
Is Santander multiple waves?
i have the same question. i havent heard anything regarding a first round yet
lol me either. fucking stressed
spoke with an analyst the other week. apparently there is a second wave that should be coming out rn. not sure if first rounds are already out tho
bump
Interviewers said a quick turnaround after final round - anyone have specifics on decision date?

Still waiting. Had good spd yesterday

Does anyone hear back from spd? Curious about how long it would take between spd and offer call
Bump
Had spd yesterday and it was pretty basic compared to others I've had. Also curious on turnaround time bc both interviewers said it should be pretty quick
I think today is the last day for super days so we should hear today/tommorow.
Mine’s also basic. Very simple variation questions.
