It's a very exciting week for us here at Santander UK 🥳 Not only is it Santander Week, it's also the beginning of our big move (across the road!) into our new Head Office, located within Unity Place MK. We've been patiently watching the building grow since 2020, and the wait is now finally over. Unity Place isn't just home to our Head Office, it’s a collaboration and leisure space open to the public, featuring a restaurant, street food vendors, retail outlets, event space and more. We’re really excited to be sharing this space with the local Milton Keynes community and businesses. To our wonderful Santander UK team – we hope you love our new home as much as we do ❤️

Santander Reviews

Pros
Been here 30 yrs and love it. Really flexible so was great for childcare over the years - now I see this as useful for aged parents and grandchild care. Takes menopause, diversity, social mobility, women in IT, employee mental health etc seriously. Really supportive colleagues - this is an encouraged / measured behaviour. Training and advancement on offer, ability to move around in different roles, mentoring encouraged. Regular employee surveys taken very seriously by management.
Cons
Can’t really think of any cons. I’m a strong recommender of working here.
