About the company

Lunar is a Nordic digital bank that builds consumer and business banking products with a strong tech-first angle. The company was founded in 2015 and operates across Denmark and Sweden, with a focus on everyday banking and payments. Lunar positions the business as a challenger bank with its own banking license and a large customer base across the Nordics. Current hiring spans technology, commercial roles, and financial crime prevention operations.

Locations and presence

Lunar hires primarily across Copenhagen and Aarhus (Denmark) and Stockholm (Sweden). Public headcount signals vary by source, but cluster around the mid-hundreds, which fits a 500-999 band.

Palpable Score

65.4

/ 100

Lunar has some real entry points for early-career people, especially in operational and onboarding roles where the job scope is built around growth on the job. The company’s job ads are specific about responsibilities and team context, but pay transparency and a clearly published interview process are hard to find, which keeps the overall score down.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company has at least one clearly junior-friendly role in market right now, including “FCP Onboarding Junior Specialist,” with responsibilities framed around learning into the role.
Lunar’s wider open roles skew experienced, with examples like “Backend Engineer” and “Senior Backend Engineer” calling for 4+ years, which narrows access for 0–3 year candidates.
The company shows some junior-to-mid laddering in the same function (Junior Specialist, Specialist, and more senior variants), but the overall volume of early-career roles is limited.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company’s listings are generally well-scoped, often naming the team, reporting line, and giving concrete “what you’ll do” bullet points (for example, transaction monitoring responsibilities in FCP roles).
Lunar provides unusually explicit recruitment-data handling details via the Teamtailor “Connect” flow, including retention timing and references to assessments like personality tests.
The company does not consistently publish pay ranges or a step-by-step interview process on the careers site, which reduces transparency for early-career applicants.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.0

/ 20

The company explicitly bakes learning into at least one junior role, including “grow into managing the approval and onboarding process,” “sparring,” and daily discussions with the manager in the Welcoming team.
Lunar also describes ongoing training and development in compliance and AML practices in FCP Specialist hiring, plus a career framework with opportunities to advance.
The company’s engineering roles emphasize collaboration (for example, Scrum-based delivery with experienced teams), but most engineering openings currently target experienced hires rather than true early-career ramping.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.7

/ 20

The company advertises stable full-time employment across multiple roles, which is a solid baseline for early-career stability.
Lunar lists meaningful benefits in at least some roles, including paid leave and health insurance coverage.
The company rarely shows salary ranges (and equity specifics for junior hires are not clearly surfaced), which caps confidence on pay fairness.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.7

/ 20

The company has mixed public sentiment signals on Glassdoor, with a mid-range overall rating and a majority willingness to recommend, which suggests uneven but not alarming outcomes.
Lunar references internal career frameworks and advancement pathways inside role descriptions (notably within FCP), but public promotion and retention outcomes for early-career hires are not clearly published.
The company’s visible hiring ladder in FCP (junior-to-specialist progression) hints at internal progression routes, but outcome evidence is thin without stronger public progression data (for example, aggregated promotion rates or early-career tenure patterns).
