Palpable Score

CleverCards shows some entry points through internships and at least one entry-level role, plus an ATS-based application route and role-relevant assessments. The limiting factor is the amount of negative, specific employee feedback about structure, progression, and management, alongside missing public pay transparency, which drags down learning support and outcomes scores.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company has published internship roles (including Intern and Strategy Intern) and an entry-level Sales Support Executive role marked as temporary for a defined seasonal period.
  • CleverCards’ accessible public openings and role signals skew toward experienced hires (for example specialist and leadership roles, and roles asking for 4+ years), which narrows day-to-day access for 0–3 year candidates.
  • The company has announced job creation in Dublin across functions, but public listings do not show a repeatable pipeline of junior titles (Junior, Associate, Graduate, Apprentice) appearing consistently over time.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.7
/ 20
  • The company’s public interview feedback for an internship describes two rounds, a short assessment tied to the role, and a fast decision after the final stage.
  • CleverCards has used a time-boxed task for at least one intern process (a presentation prepared on short notice), which is role-relevant but still places a real burden on candidates.
  • The company’s job ads include concrete expectation-setting details (such as seniority level, temporary vs permanent status, on-site vs hybrid cues, and explicit experience requirements in some roles).

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

7.5
/ 20
  • The company’s employee reviews repeatedly cite “no structure” and weak internal communication, including comments that new starters struggle to transition, which is a direct negative signal for onboarding quality.
  • CleverCards has at least one early-career-facing operations role built around daily cross-functional coordination (Sales, finance operations, operations, and compliance steps), which can accelerate learning through breadth of exposure.
  • The company has little public, role-level evidence of structured support mechanisms (buddying, formal ramp plans, scheduled coaching, or documented progression), which caps this pillar even if some teams provide informal support.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.2
/ 20
  • The company’s employee feedback includes low compensation-and-benefits sentiment and specific mentions of weak reward for performance, which is a negative pay-fairness signal even with a small review sample.
  • CleverCards does not consistently publish salary ranges in the publicly accessible role pages reviewed, which makes early-career pay assessment and negotiation harder.
  • The company has advertised at least one entry-level role as temporary/seasonal, which can be appropriate for peak coverage but offers limited stability for graduates seeking longer ramps.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.0
/ 20
  • The company’s employee reviews include repeated concerns about progression, structure, and turnover, which are strong negative signals for early-career retention and growth.
  • CleverCards is rated poorly on a sales-focused employer review site (including low leadership/culture scores and low reported quota attainment), suggesting performance pressure without reliable enablement for junior commercial hires.
  • The company’s publicly visible employee footprint and international presence indicate growth activity, but CleverCards does not publish early-career outcome data such as promotion rates, time-to-proficiency, internship conversion, or retention over 12–24 months.
