Palpable Score

39.0

/ 100

Finqware has a clearly described internship route that can convert to permanent roles, but the main visible entry point is limited in volume and not consistently current. The biggest drawback for early-career candidates is pay fairness: the internship listing is explicitly unpaid, and compensation transparency is limited across other roles.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.0

/ 20

Finqware advertises a “Fintech Business Internship Program” designed for final-year students and runs as a 3-month, part-time placement.
The company caps the intake at “up to 5 students,” which keeps entry-level access narrow even when the program runs.
Finqware’s public careers list is dominated by manager-level roles, and the Business Intern posting shown publicly is from two years ago and already closed.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0

/ 20

Finqware’s internship listing spells out concrete tasks (market research, supporting sales, admin tasks, and contributing to new initiatives) plus clear fit criteria (final-year study, English, teamwork).
The company uses a direct email application route (CV + cover letter), but the listing also says “Only interesting candidates will be contacted,” which is a transparency red flag for applicants.
Finqware states the internship is unpaid, and the public materials visible for early-career applicants do not provide salary ranges or benefits clarity.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.0

/ 20

Finqware frames the internship as “practical experience” spanning sales, product support, customer success, and exposure to new projects, which can create broad early-career learning.
The company offers flexibility in how the internship is delivered (mix of on-site and remote), which can help students participate alongside studies.
Finqware does not describe structured coaching basics (named mentor, onboarding plan, or feedback cadence) in the publicly visible internship description, and some duties are explicitly administrative.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

4.0

/ 20

Finqware explicitly describes the 3-month internship period as “voluntary” and “unpaid,” which is a major pay fairness issue for early-career access.
The company links unpaid work to a competitive conversion outcome (only “top 3–5” may transition), which concentrates risk on the candidate side.
Finqware does not show pay bands or equity/benefits details in the publicly visible early-career entry point, limiting confidence on stability and fairness beyond the internship.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.0

/ 20

Finqware’s LinkedIn company presence indicates a very small team footprint, which limits how much public promotion or retention pattern data is available at early-career level.
The company states that top internship participants “may have the opportunity to transition into full-time employment… on a permanent contract,” but no confirmed conversion outcomes are provided publicly.
The company has a high Glassdoor snapshot rating visible, but there is no accessible depth in early-career progression or retention evidence (review volume, promotion examples, or time-in-role patterns).
