I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Edinburgh, Schottland) in Apr 2023
Interview
Assessment day with strengths-based interview, and some individual/group exercises. Nothing difficult and the coding exercise was creamy (though some of the little blitz exercises require ingestion of a lot of information which may be foreign if you're not business-oriented.) Overall, quite a pleasant experience (and geared toward human interaction rather than robotic/digital pre-set questions.) Of concern regarding getting no offer is that in the return email, I was given a whole bunch of mental health links- I'm unsure as to whether they give these out to everyone, or if they simply psychoanalyzed me and assumed I had some mental health condition. I'd recommend Lloyds not add these into their rejection emails as those with these conditions might assume they were discriminated against somehow (I don't think Lloyds would do this- they make it very clear they don't- but it's just something worth noting, and kinda sus in my opinion.)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generic (Why would you pick Lloyds, why this job, that sort.)
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Manchester, England)
Interview
Applied, did coding test, but after that, they kept saying they will get back to my about my application bit never did until I got an automated message after 9 months that I got rejected. Very sad that they treat early career candidates like this
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Manchester, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Assessment Centre that lasted for about 5 hours with different technical and behavioural rounds. The interviewers were friendly but the questions were a bit vague and difficult to answer at times. Be prepared to answer open ended questions and prepare some examples beforehand.
Online assessments and coding test. Assessment centre with mini exercises and some interviews, with technical interview. Fairly straightforward if you have coding experience. Took quite a while to hear back afterwards.
