About the company
Brex sells a finance platform for businesses that bundles corporate cards with expense management, bill pay, travel, and banking-style money movement. Brex targets companies from startups to larger mid-market teams that want tighter spend controls and faster workflows. Brex positions the product as software-led finance operations, with automation and policy controls built in. Brex operates as a private fintech with regulated financial partners in the background for parts of the stack.
Locations and presence
Brex operates with named offices in the US (including San Francisco, New York City, and Seattle) and has expanded hiring in places like São Paulo. Brex job postings describe a hybrid setup with coordinated in-office days, plus a policy that allows up to four weeks per year of fully remote work, and some roles explicitly note a shift to three in-office days starting February 2, 2026.
Palpable Score
70.5
/ 100
Brex offers real early-career entry points through internships and a structured operations rotation, and Brex also has credible signals of intentional support for junior engineers. Brex is fairly good on pay transparency through job-posted salary ranges, but the hiring process is less consistently documented from official sources than peers with dedicated candidate guides. Outcomes are the biggest limiter because public signals are mixed and Brex does not publish early-career retention, conversion, or promotion metrics.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.7
/ 20
  • The company runs an Operations Internship Program described as a 1–2 year placement with project ownership and exposure to core operations teams.
  • Brex advertises an 18–20 month Operations Analyst Rotational Program with planned rotations and the possibility of rotating into other orgs, which is a concrete graduate-style pathway.
  • The company has publicly described an Early Career Engineering Pod spanning interns, new grads, and associate-level engineers, which signals recurring early-career participation inside engineering rather than only senior hiring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company includes practical transparency in some job ads through posted salary ranges, equity notes, and “application review timeline” sections.
  • Brex job postings spell out where the role is based and the hybrid expectation, including coordinated in-office days and a clearly dated policy change for three days in-office starting February 2, 2026.
  • The company has mixed third-party interview feedback that describes structured multi-stage loops, but also includes complaints about slow updates or inconsistent communication, which limits confidence in predictability.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

15.0
/ 20
  • The company’s engineering internship descriptions explicitly reference building in partnership with a mentor and team while shipping work tied to business impact.
  • Brex has an externally described Early Career Engineering Pod intended to uplevel junior engineers via a forum for issues, ideas, and senior-led career advice.
  • The company’s operations internship and rotational postings emphasize hands-on projects and process improvement work, which is a credible “learn by doing” setup even without a glossy academy-style program.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.8
/ 20
  • The company posts salary ranges on roles across functions, including associate-level roles and engineering roles, which supports pay fairness through upfront transparency.
  • Brex commonly pairs salary ranges with equity language in postings, which improves alignment for early-career hires compared with cash-only packages.
  • The company has limited public, company-authored detail on benefits and total-rewards structure in a single canonical page, so candidates often have to piece together stability signals from job ads and third-party benefits reporting.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company ties early-career operations hiring together by positioning successful internship completion as a route into the full-time Operations Rotational Analyst program, which is a tangible conversion outcome.
  • Brex has mixed employee sentiment on outcomes, with some public reviews describing strong growth and learning and other reviews describing burnout, management inconsistency, or repeated layoff anxiety.
  • The company does not publish early-career metrics such as intern-to-offer rates, rotational-program completion outcomes, retention, or typical time-to-promotion, which makes consistent early-career progression hard to verify.
