About the company
Fictiv runs a digital manufacturing and supply chain platform that helps hardware teams source custom mechanical parts, from prototype through production. The company markets a blend of software workflow plus a vetted global partner network across multiple manufacturing processes (CNC, injection molding, casting, sheet metal, and more). In April 2025, Fictiv announced an agreement to be acquired by MISUMI Group Inc., and Fictiv later announced the deal completion in June 2025.
Locations and presence
Fictiv lists headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area and office addresses in Oakland and Phoenix, plus operations offices in Guangzhou, Pune, Bengaluru, and Nuevo Leon (Mexico). LinkedIn lists Fictiv in the 201–500 employee band, which lines up with the acquisition disclosures citing roughly ~400 employees.
Palpable Score
58.0
/ 100
Fictiv has real early-career-adjacent roles, especially “Associate” program and project management jobs in India and a handful of coordinator-style ops roles. The score is held back by weak consistency signals in candidate experience and by missing, measurable evidence on junior progression and retention after 12–24 months.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company lists multiple junior-shaped roles at once, including Associate Customer Program Manager (EG), Associate Customer Project Manager, and Associate Technical Program Manager (EG) across Bengaluru and Mexico.
  • Fictiv has credible entry points in operations and logistics through roles like Logistics Coordinator, QC Inspector, and Sales Development Representative (US shift) that are not framed as “senior-only.”
  • The company does not show a consistent pipeline of 0–1 year “new grad” roles on the main job board, so early-career access looks concentrated rather than broad across every function.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company uses Greenhouse job pages with clear responsibilities and required traits, which is better than vague “wear many hats” listings.
  • Fictiv has low interview positivity on Glassdoor (around the mid-30% range) and specific candidate reports about no-feedback rejections after multi-round loops and even roles posted while not actively hiring.
  • The company has some candidate reports describing straightforward 2–3 round technical loops for engineering roles, but the spread in experiences makes the process hard to predict for graduates.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company publicly lists learning support such as Udemy Business access, continued education stipends, and leadership coaching for high performers on the careers page.
  • Fictiv describes direct access to executive leadership and a collaborative, cross-team environment across operations, product, and engineering, which can matter for fast learning early on.
  • The company’s job descriptions for associate and coordinator roles rarely spell out concrete junior mechanics like buddy assignment, a 30/60/90 ramp plan, or guaranteed weekly 1:1 coaching.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes US salary ranges for some roles (for example a US Director of Engineering listing with a $215k–$265k range), which is a genuine transparency signal.
  • Fictiv’s benefits stack on the careers page includes equity options, paid parental leave, paid volunteer days, a learning and development stipend, and a monthly virtual work stipend.
  • The company does not consistently post salary bands for the most common early-career-shaped roles (especially the Associate program management roles in India), so pay comparability for first-job applicants is uneven.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company has generally positive overall employee sentiment on Glassdoor (recommend-to-a-friend figures in the mid-70% range), but those averages are not early-career specific.
  • Fictiv has public employee feedback referencing frequent layoffs and anxiety about job security, which is a direct risk to early-career continuity even when day-to-day work is interesting.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcomes like intern conversion rates, time-to-promotion for Associate roles, or 12–24 month retention, and Levels.fyi salary snapshots cannot substitute for progression data.
