The process was led by a third-party professional, who was very polite and wasn't trying to make me nervous. It lasted about an hour, and I got feedback at the end. When I mentioned I couldn't proceed for personal reasons, they were understanding.

I was invited for an interview, but when it was time to speak with the manager, they just canceled the opening due to an internal promotion. I understand the need for internal promotions, but they shouldn't have opened it externally and then stopped the hiring process midway.

A typical interview process for the Manager position at Santander might involve a few steps: Initial interview: You'll start with a preliminary call, either by phone or video, to chat about your skills and what motivates you. HR interview: Then, there's a more in-depth chat with an HR person to talk about your background and if you'd fit into the company culture. Technical interview: You might have an assessment to check your technical skills, like financial management, risk analysis, or sales. Manager interviews: Finally, you'll likely meet with managers or team leaders to see how you'd fit the role and the company's vibe. Each stage is designed to look at different parts of your experience and abilities, plus how well you'd work in their environment and with their values.
