About the company

Cult Mia is a London-based online fashion marketplace that curates “drop” style edits from independent luxury designers globally, with an emphasis on sustainability and values-led brands. Cult Mia’s proposition is discovery: helping customers find smaller labels that are hard to access through mainstream luxury retail. Public reporting and investor posts describe Cult Mia as a venture-backed business, with seed extensions supporting international growth. The company presents as a small, founder-led team.

Locations and presence

Cult Mia is headquartered in London (Chelsea area is listed on one employer profile). The customer proposition is global, but hiring and team presence appear primarily UK-based.

Palpable Score

45.5

/ 100

Cult Mia has a credible early-career entry point through internships, and the intern feedback that exists is unusually specific about access to senior people and learning. The score drops because early-career roles are not consistently visible, pay transparency is thin, and there’s very limited public evidence on junior progression or retention.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company has hosted internships (including “Summer internship” roles), which is a real first step into fashion tech for students and recent grads.
Cult Mia’s careers page currently lists no open positions, so entry-level access depends on timing rather than an always-on pipeline.
The company relies on direct email applications rather than a live job board with recurring junior titles, which limits discoverability for early-career candidates.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company uses direct outreach via a careers inbox instead of a clear ATS-led process, which can create inconsistent candidate experiences.
Cult Mia has at least one detailed interview report describing a roughly three-week process and a positive experience meeting the team.
The company does not publish stages, timelines, or what an assessment looks like for common roles, so candidates cannot judge effort and fairness up front.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.7

/ 20

The company has intern feedback describing access to senior team members and active teaching and training at intern stage.
Cult Mia’s internship feedback also mentions full exposure to how the business works across areas, which can accelerate learning in a small team.
The company does not publicly outline onboarding, feedback cadence, or manager support practices, so the strongest learning signals are limited to a small number of intern reviews.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

6.3

/ 20

The company has an intern review explicitly stating that intern pay was very low, which is a negative pay fairness signal for early-career candidates.
Cult Mia has no meaningful public salary data across job titles, which makes it hard to assess market alignment.
The company has no benefits information reported publicly in the main review datasets, which caps the stability and total comp picture.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.5

/ 20

The company has too little employee-review volume to judge early-career retention and progression patterns reliably.
Cult Mia’s available reviews are both internship-shaped, so they don’t show whether early-career hires get promoted or stay 12–24 months.
The company’s public footprint suggests ongoing growth activity, but there’s no verifiable cohort outcome data (repeat junior hiring, promotions, or alumni paths).
