Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received lots of support from my line manager and the wider team. Everyone was always willing to put time in their diaries with me to discuss anything / provide me with guidance for any problems I had, which made it very easy to settle in quickly.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Lots of focus on diversity and sustainability discussions. Due to Covid times, everyone worked from home throughout the majority of my placement here so we definitely lost a lot of the social events but my team still tried to put some time aside each week for a more relaxed and fun social meeting on Fridays.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group
Research the bank before starting, there is a lot of useful information on its website but also read other articles to get an understanding of its role in the UK economy. Be prepared to ask as many questions as you can and try to meet as many people as possible from across the Group because it is so large, it is easy to miss out on the bigger picture of how Lloyds works.
