About the company

Abridge builds an ambient AI product that records patient clinician conversations and turns them into structured clinical notes for use in care delivery. The company positions the platform around auditable outputs and workflow integrations, including use inside Epic Systems. Abridge was founded in 2018 and sells to large healthcare systems, with the product oriented around reducing documentation burden.

Locations and presence

Abridge lists a headquarters in San Francisco and additional presence in Pittsburgh and New York City. Hiring materials also point to builder hubs in San Francisco and New York with hybrid expectations on some roles.

Palpable Score

70.7

/ 100

Abridge posts real early-career roles with concrete scope, mentorship language, and visible compensation ranges in at least some listings, which is a strong signal for a startup. The score is held back by uneven public evidence on interview consistency and limited, role-specific proof of junior promotions or retention outcomes.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.0

/ 20

The company has advertised a “Full Stack Engineering (New Grad)” role with a defined graduation window (Spring 2026) rather than asking for multiple years of experience.
Abridge has also advertised a 12-week Summer 2026 software engineering internship, which is a straightforward entry path for students.
The company still appears weighted toward experienced hiring across many open roles, so early-career access looks present but not high-volume.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company includes unusually detailed candidate-facing information in at least some postings, including benefits lists, an equal opportunity statement, and recruitment-fraud guidance.
Abridge has mixed public interview feedback, including reports of long or drawn-out processes and at least one account describing poor interviewer engagement and later-stage ghosting.
The company has some structure visible through common interview stages reported publicly (including occasional skills tests), but consistency is hard to verify from limited early-career specific data.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.7

/ 20

The company explicitly describes mentorship in the new grad engineering role, including working one-on-one within a pod.
Abridge describes internship support as mentorship plus guidance while shipping real product features, which is the right shape for practical learning.
The company lists a learning and development budget in job materials, suggesting ongoing skill investment beyond initial onboarding.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

17.3

/ 20

The company posts a clear compensation range for the new grad engineering role ($155K to $165K), which is rare clarity for early-career hiring.
Abridge lists paid internship compensation ($40 per hour) plus travel support for relocation logistics, which reduces financial friction for students.
The company publicly lists substantial benefits such as health coverage, parental leave, and retirement matching, though not every job page is equally detailed.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.7

/ 20

The company ties internships to potential return offers for high-performing interns, which is a concrete early-career outcome pathway.
Abridge has employee review signals pointing to growth opportunities and accessible leadership, but most public reviews are not clearly from early-career roles.
The company does not publish measurable early-career progression data (promotion rates, time-to-promotion, or retention), which caps confidence in outcomes.
