Lloyds Banking Group reviews

One of the biggest positives for me is the support for career development, especially if you’re still figuring things out. Before joining Lloyds, I was planning to go into the medical field, so banking wasn’t something I had experience in. I started in customer service and learned everything on the job. What really stood out to me is the level of support, even when your career plans change. After deciding to stay and build a career at Lloyds, I chose to do a Senior Financial Advisor apprenticeship because I thought the financial side was right for me. However, as I went through it, I realised it wasn’t something I truly enjoyed or wanted long term. What made a huge difference was how supported I still felt through that. When I applied for an HR apprenticeship, the encouragement and support was just as strong, and now I’m in a role I genuinely love. The way Lloyds embraces “squiggly careers” really surprised me in the best way. You’re not expected to have everything figured out, and there’s real patience and backing while you work out what’s right for you. It genuinely feels like the organisation cares about your future and supports you step by step.

Strong opportunities for career progression. Great access to learning, in particular building future ready skills in Agile WoW and AI with practical application in day to day delivery. There is also encouragement to get involved in work beyond your core role, which helps broaden experience and visibility across the business. Flexible working is a strength, condensed hours has made it much easier for me to balance work and a young family. The total reward package is also great especially with share buying initiatives, pension contributions and private medical care.
