About the company

On the company site, heyData says the team is 50+ people and the customer base is 2,000+ companies across Europe. Roles span sales, marketing, finance, engineering, account management, and “domain experts” (privacy and ISO consulting).

Palpable Score

66.2

/ 100

heyData has a couple of real early-career doors open right now, including a working-student role and a “Junior” marketing role with mentoring called out in the job ad. The biggest limiter is pay transparency for junior candidates, plus limited public proof of what happens to early-career hires after the first year.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company is actively advertising a Working Student (Werkstudent) role in Account Management, which is a clear entry point for students who want commercial ops exposure.
heyData is hiring a Junior Performance Marketing Manager role that accepts first hands-on experience from internships, working-student roles, junior roles, or personal projects.
The company’s wider open-role mix is still weighted toward experienced hiring (Director, Head, Senior, Interim Head), so entry-level access exists but is not the default.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

15.3

/ 20

The company publishes response-time expectations on job ads (for example “within a week” or “within three days”), which sets a clear candidate expectation.
heyData runs recruiting through a mainstream ATS and publishes a detailed recruiting privacy policy (including what data is collected, sourcing categories, and retention logic).
The company has multiple public candidate reports describing a structured multi-step interview flow (HR screen, case or task, and senior or founder conversations), though some steps include brain teasers which can feel less role-relevant for early-career applicants.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.3

/ 20

The company explicitly includes an annual training budget in multiple role descriptions, and the junior marketing role specifically mentions mentoring alongside clear KPIs.
heyData lists practical ramp support like “Top equipment” (MacBook and setup) and flexible working arrangements (remote, office, or hybrid depending on role).
The company does not publicly spell out the early-career basics that reduce risk for juniors, like a 30-60-90 day ramp plan, a guaranteed 1:1 cadence, or what “promotion-ready” looks like.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.3

/ 20

The company offers stability-leaning benefits across postings, including 30 vacation days, a company pension plan, and subsidised mobility (Germany Ticket) alongside wellness benefits (Urban Sports Club).
heyData does not consistently publish salary ranges for the early-career-accessible roles visible on the careers board, which makes it harder to judge pay fairness before applying.
The company’s most transparent salary examples in public listings skew senior (for example director-level ranges shown on a remote-jobs aggregator), leaving juniors with less clarity.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.3

/ 20

The company has strong overall employee sentiment on public review platforms, including high recommendation rates and a “Top Company 2025” badge on one major German-language employer-review site.
heyData has positive public interview-experience stats and multiple reports of fast feedback, which tends to correlate with a healthier hiring cadence and less candidate drop-off.
The company’s public LinkedIn footprint supports that heyData is a scaled team rather than a tiny founder-led shop, but there is no public reporting on junior promotions, intern-to-offer conversion, or 12–24 month retention.
