About the company

Cure51 publicly states the team has identified more than 1,500 survivors across 42 countries. Cure51 positions the mission as learning from the “exception” to help cure cancer.

Palpable Score

54.9

/ 100

Cure51 offers real entry points through an apprenticeship and an internship with named supervision, which is a strong signal for early-career access at a small company. The score is held back by missing pay data, no reported benefits data on Glassdoor, and limited public evidence of early-career progression outcomes.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

14.7

/ 20

The company is actively hiring early-career roles through an IT Support Apprentice opening (apprenticeship format) in Paris.
Cure51 also runs a Creative Intern – Video & Motion Design role, with clear intern scope inside a Marketing team.
The company’s other visible technical hiring includes a DevSecOps role requiring 7+ years, so early-career access is present but not the majority of the funnel.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.7

/ 20

The company gives concrete day-to-day responsibilities for the IT Support Apprentice role, including L1/L2 support channels (Slack, ticketing, in-person) and account/tool administration.
Cure51 provides role basics like contract type, location, and offer dates, and routes applications via Welcome to the Jungle rather than an email-only process.
The company does not publish the interview steps, expected timelines, or assessment format on the role pages, which limits transparency for candidates.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company explicitly places the apprentice “under the supervision” of the Head of Engineering, with escalation expectations and process documentation as part of the work.
Cure51 places the marketing intern under the Head of Design, with cross-functional exposure to Product, Science, Sales, and HR through content projects.
The company does not publicly describe onboarding length, mentorship routines (1:1s), or a training budget for apprentices and interns, so support quality is hard to verify beyond line-management claims.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

8.7

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges on the apprenticeship, internship, or full-time listings, which caps pay fairness scoring.
Cure51 lists some concrete working conditions for certain roles, including 1–2 days remote work and RTT/day-off language on the DevSecOps post.
The company has no salaries and no benefits reported on Glassdoor at the time of checking, leaving no independent pay benchmark for early-career candidates.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

5.7

/ 20

The company has “No reviews, yet” on Glassdoor, removing a major source of retention, manager quality, and promotion signals.
Cure51 shows early-career hiring intent through multiple junior-friendly openings (apprenticeship and internship), but public evidence does not show whether these convert to full-time or repeat year to year.
The company’s public LinkedIn footprint supports the stated small-team scale, but LinkedIn alone is not enough to track junior progression over 12–24 months without tenure or promotion data.
