About the company

Colossyan makes an AI video platform that turns text, documents, presentations, and screen recordings into avatar-narrated training videos, including interactive formats like quizzes and branching. The company sells mainly to workplace learning and enablement teams that need faster content creation and translation across languages. Colossyan has a London base with a significant Budapest presence, and the company has expanded commercial coverage into the US. Colossyan has raised a $22M Series A round to fund product development and team growth.

Locations and presence

Colossyan lists offices in London, Budapest, and New York, and the careers site also references US hiring locations such as Denver. Many roles are hybrid, commonly framed as 2–3 days per week in the office with some quarterly remote flexibility.

Palpable Score

54.6

/ 100

Colossyan has a couple of realistic early-career entry points in go-to-market roles, but the overall open-role mix skews senior and specialist. Day-to-day learning looks strong in pockets thanks to mentorship signals in employee reviews and role design, yet public interview feedback includes repeated complaints about candidate time burden and inconsistent treatment. Pay bands and early-career outcomes are hard to verify because most roles do not publish salary ranges and the company does not share progression or retention metrics.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.5

/ 20

The company’s current open roles list includes a “Customer Success Manager” requiring 1+ years in Customer Success, CS Ops, or Scaled Success, which is reachable for early-career candidates with a first job already completed.
Colossyan frames “Senior SDR” as a stepping-stone role that can grow into an Account Executive path over time, with 1+ year of SDR or BDR experience as the stated bar.
The company’s wider hiring slate leans mid-to-senior, including Account Executive roles requiring 4+ years of quota-carrying experience and several “Senior” engineering openings, with no live internships on the current job board.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

10.2

/ 20

The company’s job descriptions are specific about role constraints, such as hybrid expectations (for example, 3 days in the London office for Account Executive) and shift patterns (for example, fortnightly evening coverage for Customer Support).
Colossyan has public candidate feedback describing high-burden interview tasks and a lack of respect for candidate time, including complaints about uncompensated work during hiring.
The company also has candidate reports of a clear, staged flow in some processes, including an intro conversation, a technical interview with the team, and a final culture interview with senior leadership.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.2

/ 20

The company’s employee-facing benefits and practices include company-wide offsites, “Wellness Wednesdays” sessions, and “No-Meeting Wednesdays,” which can protect learning time and focus in a high-output environment.
Colossyan has employee review content describing strong mentorship from managers and team leads, plus frequent feedback that helps new joiners adjust quickly.
The company builds senior support expectations into technical role design, including senior engineers being responsible for mentoring junior developers and promoting shared best practices.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.3

/ 20

The company offers stability signals through standard full-time roles plus benefits like private healthcare (region-specific providers), pension matching in the UK, and generous annual leave mechanics.
Colossyan pairs benefits with equity language across roles, consistently referencing stock options as part of the package.
The company rarely publishes salary ranges on live job ads, which makes it harder for early-career candidates to judge fairness before investing time in a multi-stage process.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.4

/ 20

The company has a moderate public employer-review footprint with strong headline ratings in areas like culture and career opportunities, suggesting many employees see growth potential.
Colossyan sets at least one explicit progression expectation inside role design, such as the SDR role describing a pathway toward closing responsibilities and an Account Executive track within a stated timeframe.
The company does not publish early-career outcome data such as intern conversion, promotion timelines, or 12–24 month retention, and public sales feedback includes warnings about demanding quotas, which adds uncertainty for early-career stability.
