Lloyds Perm
I have gone perm at LLoyds in December 2016 - works perfectly for my circumstances after contracting 13 years - WFH 3-4 days per week, decent pay and pretty good perks.
I think your getting confused on the pension - the 18% is you put in 6%, Lloyd's the rest - still not bad!
The sharesave is pretty good - you can put in ($ = pounds!) up to $150 quid and then they give you $30 and as this is done pre tax, for $180 of share per month, it costs you around $80 - not bad, just got to wait 3 years and also hope the share price rises a bit!
Also, you can get a staff mortgage - base rate on the first 200k then very low over that - you get taxed obviously but still a nice perk.......Comment

Sneaky Simon is on the right lines with the pension. I think it's 13% if you contribute 5%.
The bonus scheme sounds like Band F - Senior Manager type level, and it ranges from 0-40% depending on your performance rating. Only a tiny % of staff get the top award on the bell curve. If you get the middle rating then it's 20% supposedly. However this is subject to a number of multipliers depending on overall LBG performance, Divisional performance etc. Multipliers always seem to be less than 1.00, so I used to call them 'dividers'! The Senior Manager bonus scheme has different rules to the 'plebs' scheme I was on as a permie there (25+ years). My old boss got something like 11% as a middle performer, so lost 9%, because of this condition and that condition.
I left last summer. It wasn't the place it used to be.Comment
