Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?
No
What advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group
If you're hoping to turn your internship into a full-time job, you should probably consider other options. This bank generally hires directly for the graduate program, so finding an offer somewhere else might be in your best interest. Last year, only 4 out of over 30 interns were offered full-time positions, which isn't great compared to other banks.
