Graduate Business Analyst Review

When it comes to my day to day activities, I am working in a project which is called Smarter Working. The aim of the project is to transform the way we work in Santander, and my daily duties include preparing presentations, working on stakeholder management and organising meetings with stakeholders.

Before I started the Graduate Scheme in Business Analysis in Santander, I had very limited contact with how the world of business operates. Since I joined the graduate scheme I have developed a plethora of skills relating to stakeholder management, business analysis, business systems modelling and a number of other areas.

I do enjoy my programme, however I think that it could have had a better structure with a more integrated learning approach. I feel that I am not given enough time to study and prepare for the apprenticeship exams and modules, and I find the frequency of modules a bit disruptive

I feel very grateful for the fact that my employer is helping me work towards the BSC Diploma in Business Analysis. Overall, I think that Santander is giving me a lot of support towards completing the qualification, but I do think that the programme could have had a better structure

There are some, but I haven't been involved in any so far. I think that I need to orient myself better and find out what is available and then decide whether I want to participate in one of the extra curricular activities at work, but I will do that at a later stage.

Yes

Because Santander UK PLC is a company that focuses on the personal development of its employees, it has diversity at the very core of its mission, and it is a very exciting place to work in. This is the main reason I would recommend Santander UK PLC to a friend.

The advise I would give to others who are currently seriously considering to apply for a job with Santander is to go ahead and apply. Santander has a welcoming culture and really appreciates diversity and inclusion. Look for a role that fits your vision and apply we will be happy to take you on board.
