About the company

Climate X sells climate risk intelligence for banks, insurers, real estate, and private capital teams who need asset-level views of physical climate hazards. The company positions the platform around translating climate projections and remote sensing into financial impacts on buildings and infrastructure. Public updates show Climate X raised a Series A led by GV (Google Ventures) to support growth, including expansion in the US. Climate X also publishes regular technical and industry writing, including climate science explainers and regulatory guidance.

Locations and presence

Climate X lists a London HQ address at Borough High Street and a New York presence in Manhattan. Hiring information also sets expectations around being in the office at least 3 days a week for many roles.

Palpable Score

66.0

/ 100

Climate X offers several believable early-career entry points across product and commercial roles, backed by a benefits package that includes training budget and frequent appraisal cycles. The score is held back by patchy salary disclosure, some roles framed as day-rate contract work, and mixed third-party signals on candidate experience and feedback.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.3

/ 20

The company has run a clear graduate-labelled role in product, including a “Junior Product Associate” position in London that sits close to Science and Engineering work.
Climate X hires junior-to-mid commercial roles such as inbound business development, which gives early-career candidates a route in without needing a specialist climate science background.
The company’s current visible openings are not high-volume, so early-career access looks real but intermittent rather than a steady pipeline.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.5

/ 20

The company publicly answers hiring FAQs including office expectations and sponsorship boundaries, and points applicants to a named contact for accessibility and inclusion improvements.
Climate X has at least one reported interview experience where a role appeared to be re-listed after rejection and the candidate reported no feedback after chasing, which is a fairness red flag even if not universal.
The company does not consistently publish interview stages or assessment formats in the most visible job listings, so applicants often cannot judge process load upfront.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.5

/ 20

The company funds learning with a stated annual training and conference budget and ties growth to a regular cadence of appraisals and pay reviews.
Climate X’s junior product role is written as cross-functional by design, with day-to-day collaboration with Science and Engineering plus hands-on analysis in Python, SQL, and Excel.
The company’s public role pages rarely spell out onboarding structure, mentoring ownership, or a ramp plan, so support is signposted more through benefits than through manager commitments.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5

/ 20

The company lists a broad benefits baseline including equity plus pension and 401k coverage, alongside health and mental health support.
Climate X has at least one role advertised as a daily-rate contract (£300 to £350 per day), which can reduce stability for early-career candidates who want permanent employment.
The company does not consistently publish salary ranges for roles, which caps pay-fairness confidence for graduates comparing offers.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.5

/ 20

The company has a meaningful external review footprint on Glassdoor that points to generally positive employee sentiment, but the sample size is still limited for drawing strong early-career conclusions.
Climate X is shown on Welcome to the Jungle with a concrete progression example where an early engineering hire grew into a director-level role, which is a strong outcome signal when it happens.
The company shows repeat hiring over time across different functions, but Climate X does not publish retention rates, promotion timelines, or early-career cohort outcomes over 12 to 24 months.
