About the company
Island builds a Chromium-based “enterprise browser” designed for IT and security teams that need visibility, governance, and policy controls at the browser layer. The company sells to large organizations where browser sessions are a key risk and productivity surface, and Island positions the product as “the ideal enterprise workplace” rather than a bolt-on security tool. Island highlights enterprise control and a familiar user experience as the core pitch.
Locations and presence
Island lists Dallas as headquarters with research and development in Tel Aviv. Job ads also show a mix of in-office roles (including Coppell, TX near Dallas) and some remote US hiring.
Palpable Score
58.2
/ 100
Island offers some entry points via roles that accept 1–2 years of experience and publishes detailed role pages with responsibilities, requirements, and benefits. The score is held back by limited evidence of repeat junior hiring across functions, scarce public signals of structured early-career support, and mixed candidate and employee feedback that is not broken down by early-career cohorts.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company advertises at least one sales role that accepts “1–2 years experience” (Mid Market Sales Representative), which is a real early-career entry point.
  • Island’s current public job pages appear dominated by “5+ years” requirements across many technical roles (support, QA, escalations), which narrows entry-level access outside sales.
  • The company does not publicly list an internship, graduate, or apprentice pathway on the main careers flow visible here, so early-career volume looks limited.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.2
/ 20
  • The company’s job pages are structured and candidate-readable, with clear sections like “What You’ll Be Doing,” “What We’re Looking For,” and “What We Offer,” plus location and in-office expectations.
  • Island has at least one public candidate report describing a rejection without explanation after an interview, which weakens confidence in consistency of feedback.
  • The company includes Equal Opportunity Employer language on role pages, but the careers site does not spell out interview stages, timelines, or take-home task policy.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.5
/ 20
  • The company frames some roles around cross-functional collaboration (for example, support roles escalating to development and QA) which can create learning-by-osmosis for early-career hires.
  • Island uses “eagerness to learn” language in technical support hiring, but that is not the same as describing onboarding, pairing, or a ramp plan for juniors.
  • The company’s public materials do not show a repeatable early-career support structure (mentor assignment, 30/60/90 plan, rotations, or formal review cadence), which caps this pillar.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company lists concrete benefits in at least some postings, including 100% covered medical, dental and vision from day 1, 401(k) with 4% match, and paid parental leave.
  • Island does not consistently publish salary ranges on the job pages candidates apply through, which limits pay transparency for early-career applicants.
  • The company has third-party compensation snapshots available (for example on compensation aggregators), but those do not replace role-specific ranges and can be thin for early-career levels.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company has limited but measurable employee sentiment available publicly, including “would recommend” and “positive business outlook” figures, but those figures are not segmented to early-career roles.
  • Island’s LinkedIn footprint suggests enough scale (201–500 listed employees and multiple hubs) for internal moves, but LinkedIn does not provide clear public evidence of junior promotion velocity or retention.
  • The company has public reviews that point to role-shape issues in at least one go-to-market role (a Solutions Engineer review describing work feeling closer to support), which can affect early-career outcomes if role expectations are not well-scoped.
