Palpable Score

75.7
/ 100
Legal & General is a strong early-career employer for people who want structured routes like grad schemes, internships, and apprenticeships with real training and professional qualifications. Legal & General is also more transparent than many large financial services employers about the steps in the recruitment process, though pay ranges are still inconsistent on graduate roles. Early-career outcomes look promising through rotation design and completion-linked progression, but cohort-level conversion and promotion metrics are not published.
