Palpable Score

76.5
/ 100
LSEG is one of the clearer large employers for graduates because the company publishes a structured early-careers funnel, runs both graduate and internship programmes, and explains assessment stages in detail. Learning support is well-specified for early talent, including induction, buddies, and development pathways such as e-learning and group projects. The score is held back by mixed public signals on progression speed and limited early-career outcome reporting such as promotion timelines and retention.
