About the company

BE WTR is a Switzerland-founded hospitality water company that replaces single-use bottled water with local filtration and on-site bottling in reusable glass. BE WTR sells bottled still and sparkling water plus “AQTiV” water systems for restaurants, hotels, offices, and homes. Public materials position BE WTR as a fast-growing scale-up with operations across multiple countries, including Switzerland and the UAE. BE WTR also markets certifications and memberships such as B Corp and 1% for the Planet.

Locations and presence

BE WTR lists Lausanne (Vaud) as the primary headquarters and shows additional presences such as Paris, Dubai, Singapore, Montreal, and London. Hiring shown publicly is anchored in Lausanne for at least one early-career role, with wider operations described as multi-country.

Palpable Score

45.9

/ 100

BE WTR has at least one clear early-career entry point and writes a practical, readable internship description with concrete responsibilities. The score is limited by missing public evidence on salary ranges, interview stages, and early-career progression outcomes beyond company growth announcements.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.0

/ 20

The company is actively hiring an internship role in Lausanne (“Business Support & Marketing Intern”, 6–12 months, full-time), with a profile open to current students or recent graduates.
BE WTR does not show a visible stream of junior roles (Junior/Associate/Analyst) on public channels that a graduate could reliably track.
The company’s main careers surface area points to “Current Openings” but the publicly accessible listings are limited, which caps entry-level access.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.3

/ 20

The company provides a detailed internship scope with specific workstreams (reports and presentations, cross-department coordination, events, partner outreach, and marketing plan execution).
BE WTR states clear constraints up front for the internship (Lausanne-based, full-time, 6–12 month duration) and names a direct contact person on the posting.
The company does not publish a step-by-step hiring process (stages, timelines, or assessment format), so candidates still lack clarity on what happens after applying.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company frames the internship as “hands-on exposure” across operations, marketing, events, and partnerships, and explicitly states close work with senior management and cross-functional teams.
BE WTR describes “personalized development plans” and “hands-on involvement” on the company’s About page, which are supportive signals if delivered consistently in practice.
The company does not describe onboarding basics (ramp plan, buddying, feedback cadence, training weeks) in job-facing materials, which matters for early-career confidence.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.3

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges for the internship or other roles visible publicly, which limits pay fairness verification for early-career candidates.
BE WTR lists “competitive benefits” and some role-specific support (for example electric vehicle support for field roles), but does not spell out core benefits in a comparable way (health, pension, leave specifics).
The company does not publicly explain equity eligibility or compensation philosophy for non-leadership roles, leaving early-career stability hard to judge.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.3

/ 20

The company communicates expansion and new site launches through public updates and press-style resources, but that is not the same as showing early-career retention or promotion.
BE WTR has a limited independent review footprint visible publicly (for example on Glassdoor), which makes early-career experience harder to validate from employee feedback.
The company’s LinkedIn profile shows a mid-sized team band and a visible employee count, but does not provide public evidence of junior progression patterns over 12–24 months.
