I applied online. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Bristol, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Applied for a few roles, first stage for most was a Karat, which was quite hard and difficult to prepare for given they were a bit vague about what they were assessing. Generally positive about the Karat, also had an interview with a Hiring Manager, and although this was quite an easy interview it felt extremely corporate.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Hyderabad) in Sep 2025
Interview
Interview was scheduled at 11 AM and kept waiting till 4PM for first round of interview.
Interviewer lacked knowledge and couldn't comprehend the answers and couldn't validate detailed explanation, instead looking for single sentence answer that's displayed in her interview questions page. Bulk rejection seems to be the only purpose the interviewer is serving.

I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Leeds, England)
Interview
Short process with direct access to the employer. Screening call was quite short but a good way to meet the team. No technical element, just technical questions instead and also soft skill questions from the product owner.
