About the company

Appfarm is an Oslo-based no-code platform company that sells a visual development environment for building full-stack business applications without writing code. Appfarm markets the platform around enterprise control, governance, and maintainability, including newer AI-assisted “conversational development” workflows. Public funding coverage describes a €5.4m (NOK 60m) round in 2023 to support international expansion. Appfarm’s careers content also highlights a multi-national team and a long-running internship track.

Locations and presence

Appfarm is based at Rebel in central Oslo and hires with a hybrid setup as the default in its public job listings. Appfarm’s go-to-market is positioned as European and enterprise-facing, including partner-led delivery.

Palpable Score

58.0

/ 100

Appfarm is unusually strong on early-career access through internships, with a published count of successful internships and a clearly described internship scope that includes real customer work. The score is held back by limited current entry-level openings and thin public proof on junior outcomes, pay ranges, and interview consistency.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company states “44 successful internships” on the careers page, which is a concrete signal of repeat early-career intake over time.
Appfarm advertises an internship program that targets students across study years (1st–5th year) and offers summer placements with optional winter placements depending on interest.
The company’s live openings list is currently dominated by “open application” rather than multiple clearly junior 0–3 year roles.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.7

/ 20

The company runs hiring through a formal ATS (with a candidate login flow) and provides a named Talent contact on the open application page.
Appfarm’s internship listing sets clear expectations on timeframe, example tasks, and required application materials, but does not publish the interview stages or expected time burden.
The company’s public job pages do not include salary ranges and only use terms like “competitive,” which limits transparency for early-career candidates.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.3

/ 20

The company describes interns receiving training before moving onto real Appfarm projects, including building functionality for customer solutions.
Appfarm’s internship scope includes internal or external project work and shipping mobile and desktop applications using Appfarm Create, which is strong “learning by delivery” structure for students.
The company describes knowledge-sharing routines and core working hours, but does not spell out early-career coaching mechanics like 1:1 cadence, shadowing, or a ramp plan.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.3

/ 20

The company advertises “competitive” compensation and includes equity or stock option language in public job listings, which is better than silent pay positioning.
Appfarm lists concrete quality-of-life benefits like free lunch and flexible working, plus frequent company events and trips, which supports day-to-day sustainability for juniors in Oslo.
The company does not publish salary ranges for roles (including early-career pathways), which caps confidence on pay fairness without additional external pay data.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.7

/ 20

The company publishes an aggregate outcome proxy through “44 successful internships,” but does not break down conversion-to-full-time, promotion rates, or retention timelines.
Appfarm posts about recurring summer intern cohorts, which suggests repeat intake, but those updates don’t confirm progression outcomes after the internship ends.
The company has limited third-party early-career sentiment and does not publish people metrics like retention or internal mobility, so outcomes remain hard to verify.
