Palpable Score
52.4
/ 100
Enginzyme has some real early-career entry points (notably research assistant style roles) and credible “learn alongside senior scientists” signals, but the visible hiring mix skews senior and specialist. The biggest limiter is thin, mixed evidence on candidate experience and early-career progression, which caps the score even where the company describes a supportive culture.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company shows some entry-level access through roles and team structures that include research assistants and lab technician support in R&D contexts.
  • Enginzyme’s publicly visible hiring examples lean heavily toward experienced profiles (PhD graduate and multi-year post-degree requirements in multiple listings), which reduces true 0–3 year accessibility.
  • The company currently showing no open roles on its main job boards makes it harder to see consistent, repeat junior hiring in the present moment.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

8.2
/ 20
  • The company describes an in-person, “come to the office early” approach intended to check mutual fit, alongside stated zero-tolerance values for discriminatory behaviour.
  • Enginzyme has at least one publicly shared candidate account describing a lengthy process (panel, presentation, multiple rounds) followed by no response after follow-up, which is a concrete transparency and respect risk.
  • The company has a publicly posted interview-related complaint that includes an inappropriate, gendered question, which is negative evidence for fair assessment conditions.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.2
/ 20
  • The company explicitly frames day-to-day work as continuous learning with exposure to experienced scientists, which is relevant for early-career development in a deep-tech lab setting.
  • Enginzyme’s own hiring content describes people “starting their careers” working alongside colleagues with decades of experience, which is a strong startup-equivalent signal when real.
  • The company’s role write-ups include coaching and mentorship language (especially in team-lead and director-level postings), but early-career-specific onboarding, feedback cadence, and training structure are not spelled out.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company lists concrete benefits in postings (paid leave, insurance coverage, and pension) and also references equity alongside salary, which supports pay fairness fundamentals.
  • Enginzyme does not consistently publish salary ranges on roles, which limits pay transparency for juniors and caps this pillar.
  • The company has employee feedback citing financial instability, which raises a stability concern even though the company positions roles as full-time with standard benefits.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.0
/ 20
  • The company has a small set of employee reviews indicating at least some early-career retention beyond 12 months (for example, a research assistant tenure), but the sample is limited.
  • Enginzyme has employee feedback pointing to limited growth and repetitive work, which weakens the visible progression story for juniors.
  • The company shows some career-step progression signals on LinkedIn profiles (movement from research scientist to lead-level titles), but Enginzyme does not publish promotion rates, progression frameworks, or structured outcomes data, so the evidence remains thin.
