I applied online. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group
Interview
Interview process from about 10 years ago. First interview was a question and answer based on how you’ve met their values, which was reading off a script and even the interviewers were annoyed/not happy with it and I never felt like I could be my natural self.
There was a tiny bit at the end to talk about my experience, what the job actually is, but about 80% of the interview was taken up with the dinosaur mandatory values questioning.
I could really tell the interviewers were passionate, but I can see why they still struggle to recruit in Digital, given they still interview like the industry did this back when I first graduated 10 years ago.
Maybe they should question themselves on their own values given the values are people-first (they made people redundant this year, despite profit), sustainability (they still heavily invest in fossil fuels), inclusive (fair few discrimination cases), trust (cutting jobs in risk management) and bold (they don’t even work using agile methodologies, but use SAFe, which is waterfall disguised as agile).
Straight forward with a coding interview to start off on an external platform, they ask system design questions and then couple of programming algorithm ones, and then couple of stages after
Interview was good. It was wasy to medium. Interviewer was kind. We had a really good conversation. Topics covered: Java, Springboot, Past projects, Problem Solving. Overall experience is good. I have completed my interview with in 40 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Manchester, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
- easy for a senior dev
- coding questions were somewhere between easy and medium difficulty level
- design round was difficult, but they were ok with half right answer
