The whole process is as outlined, so I won't go into much detail. The video interview was standard, I was asked one tricky question which was what I had enjoyed learning about Lloyds banking group throughout my research. Apart from that it was things like should banks uphold the highest moral standards, questions about you, that type of thing. Fairly typical. The assessment centre was held over half a day in London, consisting of a group exercise (something along the lines of what do the Lloyds values mean to you personally and how should graduate should contribute to upholding them, tailored towards your scheme, which was finance for me, discussed as a group and submitted on paper). I also had a 20-minute written exercise on how Lloyds could improve for its customers, and a 8 question in 10 minute numerical test. I struggled to finish due to time, but simple questions. I had to present in 5 minutes on '“An initiative, product or service that will help Lloyds Banking Group be the best bank for customers”, which you have to prepare in advance after confirming your attendance. I printed off some pages and prepared a topic, but you're not given a computer or anything, just a flip-chart. Be careful on timing, they will stop you at 5 minutes exactly, followed by questions. Finally there was an hour-long interview. This was pretty tough, asking about the values and objectives, about what I'd expect to be doing in my scheme, how I could contribute, as well as behavioural questions, do I consider myself someone who seeks to improve myself, do I enjoy helping people understand difficult concepts, that type of thing. It's not a competency based interview, so don't expect the usual format. These exercises could be in any order depending on your timetable. I heard within 10 days.
