About the company

Figma builds collaborative design and product-building software used by design, engineering, and marketing teams. The company’s tools cover interface design and whiteboarding, and the company has expanded into products like Slides and newer AI-assisted creation tools. Figma sells primarily to companies and teams that need shared workflows for building digital products and content. Figma became a public company in 2025.

Locations and presence

Figma hires through hub offices including San Francisco and New York, and the company lists additional locations across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Some roles are posted as hub-based while others are described as remote-eligible, and several job ads state that new hires must attend in-person onboarding.

Palpable Score

74.5

/ 100

Figma is a strong option for graduates because Figma consistently posts true early-career roles and internships and backs them with structured onboarding, buddy support, and real project ownership. The main cap is hiring transparency and consistency, since applicants often rely on third-party interview reports to understand assessments, rounds, and what feedback looks like. Pay is comparatively clear in early-career job ads, but longer-term early-career outcomes are harder to verify because Figma does not publish conversion, promotion, or retention metrics.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.2

/ 20

The company maintains a dedicated “Early Career” section on the careers site, with recurring postings for internships and early-career full-time roles (for example software engineering, product design, and data science internships).
Figma posts early-career roles on a cohort-style cycle (for example “2026” roles), which is a practical signal of planned intake rather than one-off junior hiring.
The company’s early-career scope still looks narrower than the largest tech firms, with fewer functions and limited visible volume at any one time.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.5

/ 20

The company’s job ads provide some process expectations (for example camera-on requirements for video interviews and a stated in-person onboarding requirement if hired), which reduces ambiguity for candidates.
Figma has widely shared candidate reports describing multi-stage processes for technical roles (including online assessments and onsite-style interview loops), which suggests the company runs repeatable structures rather than improvised interviews.
The company does not consistently publish a clear, role-by-role interview roadmap on the careers pages (stages, timelines, what “good” looks like, and what feedback to expect), so transparency varies by recruiter and team.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.8

/ 20

The company spells out early ramp support in at least one early-career engineering posting, including an onboarding buddy, starter tasks that build familiarity with workflows, and a structured onboarding program.
Figma describes internship work as fully embedded on product teams, with interns shipping real projects, participating in code review, and collaborating cross-functionally rather than being siloed into “intern-only” work.
The company also points to company-wide learning and community rituals (for example onboarding sessions and internal build weeks) that help early-career hires build networks and confidence quickly.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company has multiple public intern and early-tenure reviews describing high-impact work, strong mentorship, and being treated like part of the team, which is a good early-career outcome signal.
Figma also has mixed broader employee outcome signals in public reviews, with strong culture scores alongside weaker work-life balance scores, suggesting that early-career sustainability can vary by team and season.
The company does not publish early-career outcomes such as internship-to-offer rates, promotion rates, or retention for early-career cohorts, which limits how confidently longer-term progression can be scored.
