The company hires across product engineering, analytics, research, and revenue to support expansion across multiple power markets.

Palpable Score
64.0
/ 100
Modo Energy has a clear entry-level foothold through at least one true graduate role and some evidence of an “early talent” track, but early-career access is narrow compared with the company’s wider hiring. Modo Energy is transparent about working patterns and lists meaningful benefits, yet salary ranges are only published on some roles and interview experience reports show avoidable surprises on assessments. Outcomes look promising for fast learning and ownership, but Modo Energy does not publish early-career progression or retention metrics, so the score has to stay cautious.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company advertises a Graduate Software Engineer (Data & Infrastructure) role in London, which is a direct first-job entry point rather than a “junior with experience” post.
  • Modo Energy has public interview feedback referencing an “Early Talent Program” with an assessment day and group exercise, suggesting the company has run early-career intake beyond one-off hiring.
  • The company’s current openings skew toward roles asking for 2+ years of experience (for example, Market Analyst roles), which limits the volume and breadth of true entry-level access.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company’s candidate reports describe a structured sequence for early-career applicants, including a first video interview and an in-person assessment day that includes a group project and follow-on interviews.
  • Modo Energy’s role adverts set clear practical expectations up front, including the Tuesday–Thursday office requirement and right-to-work constraints for UK roles.
  • The company’s candidate feedback includes examples of assessment scope being larger than initially described (including longer timed technical assignments), which hurts predictability even when communication is fast.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company positions the graduate engineering role around “responsibility day one” on real data and infrastructure systems, including CI/CD, Terraform, and Airflow, which supports learning through meaningful work.
  • Modo Energy states that the graduate role can progress toward either data engineering or infrastructure paths, giving early hires more than one growth direction to aim at.
  • The company receives employee review feedback describing high standards, frequent feedback, and rapid learning, but Modo Energy does not publish a consistent onboarding or mentorship structure that applies across early-career roles.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes a salary range for at least one U.S. role (Energy Statistician in New York), which is a concrete pay transparency signal.
  • Modo Energy lists a benefits package on the graduate engineering role including private healthcare and dental coverage (Bupa), a pension with employer contribution, and 25 days of annual leave plus 5 flexible days.
  • The company does not consistently publish salary ranges across roles (including the graduate posting), which makes it harder for early-career candidates to benchmark offers without going through interviews.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.5
/ 20
  • The company has employee reviews that describe high talent density, fast learning, and early ownership, alongside pressure and intensity that can be challenging to sustain.
  • Modo Energy is actively hiring across multiple geographies and functions (London, New York, and Sydney), which supports the idea that early hires can grow with a scaling organisation rather than joining a static team.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome data such as graduate conversion, time-to-promotion, or retention by cohort, which limits confidence on long-run outcomes beyond sentiment signals.
