About the company
Envisics builds augmented reality head-up displays for cars using its Dynamic Holography Platform, aiming to keep key information in a driver’s field of view without pulling attention down to a dashboard screen. The company traces its origins to University of Cambridge research by Jamieson Christmas and was formed as Envisics in 2018 after earlier work on automotive holographic HUDs. The company targets OEMs and Tier 1 automotive suppliers, with a stated production milestone tied to the Cadillac Lyriq in 2025. Envisics describes a research-heavy workforce of over 100 people, with a large share in science and engineering roles.
Locations and presence
Envisics is headquartered in Milton Keynes and describes additional locations across the United States and Germany, plus a presence in Japan and China. Roles and candidate feedback most frequently reference the Milton Keynes site as the main hiring hub.

Envisics offers credible early-career entry points through paid industrial placements and at least some graduate-labelled roles, backed by real signals of coaching and strong benefits. The main limiter is inconsistency between the “how we hire” promise and candidate reports of slow follow-up or ghosting, plus limited public salary ranges for most permanent roles.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.8
/ 20
  • The company lists multiple early-career routes including paid 12-month industrial placements (electronics, photonics, product development) with “no experience required” noted in hiring criteria.
  • Envisics has also advertised graduate-labelled roles such as “Photonics Graduate” and has used hybrid locations for at least some graduate postings rather than restricting everything to senior hires only.
  • The company still looks heavier on experienced hiring in public job boards, so the early-career volume is real but not consistently visible year-round.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

15.8
/ 20
  • The company publishes a step-by-step hiring flow that includes role-specific discussions, culture and career conversations, and “prompt feedback and clear next steps.”
  • Envisics also says every application is reviewed by people rather than automated screening, which is a meaningful transparency and fairness signal for juniors.
  • The company has candidate reports of delayed communication and ghosting on interview feedback sites, which pulls down trust in consistency even if some processes are described as smooth.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.8
/ 20
  • The company’s industrial placement descriptions include regular coaching sessions across a year, with feedback framed as part of the placement structure rather than optional support.
  • Envisics explicitly positions placements and graduate roles on live projects with ownership of deliverables, which tends to accelerate learning when paired with review loops.
  • The company does not publish much detail on onboarding, mentoring, or progression frameworks for permanent early-career hires, so support beyond placements is harder to verify.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company’s placement roles are paid at around £25k–£26k and are described as full-year placements rather than unpaid or speculative “internships.”
  • Envisics lists tangible benefits such as equity in the business, wellbeing allowance, private medical and dental insurance, enhanced pension contributions, and life assurance.
  • The company rarely publishes salary ranges directly in its own job ads, so pay transparency for entry-level permanent roles is limited and caps the score.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company has employee review evidence of internal progression (example path from Engineer to Lead Engineer over multiple years) and generally strong “career opportunities” category ratings.
  • Envisics has a high share of positive employer sentiment in reviews (including high recommendation rates and positive business outlook), but this is not broken out specifically for early-career cohorts.
  • The company has limited public reporting on retention, promotion timelines, or structured progression for graduates, and review volume is modest, so outcomes confidence stays mid-range.
