About the company

Notion makes workspace software for notes, docs, projects, and knowledge bases, used by both individuals and teams. The company runs a product-led model with a heavy engineering and design footprint, plus growing go-to-market teams globally. Notion’s hiring materials lean into craft, small-team ownership, and writing things down. Notion also positions the company as office-forward, with set “anchor day” expectations.

Locations and presence

Notion’s main hubs include San Francisco and New York, with a major European base in Dublin. The company also hires in multiple APAC locations including Hyderabad and Tokyo, alongside other smaller hubs.

Palpable Score

74.3

/ 100

Notion is a strong option for grads aiming for a paid internship or an early-career engineering role with real ownership and clear pay bands. The score is held back by limited public early-career outcomes data, especially intern conversion rates and promotion timelines.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

17.0

/ 20

The company runs a dedicated “University” hiring lane with Summer 2026 internships (including Software Engineer Intern and UX Research Intern).
Notion posts explicitly labeled early-career engineering roles (for example, Fullstack, Early Career and AI Agentic Search, Early Career) rather than only mid-senior hiring.
The company shows early-career reach across multiple locations (US hubs plus Hyderabad), which increases access beyond one office.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.5

/ 20

The company publishes a hiring philosophy that frames interviews as two-way conversations and references role-specific interview guides to reduce surprises.
Notion includes pay ranges in job postings and flags recruiting privacy details (including New York compliance language on some listings), which helps candidates evaluate roles earlier.
The company has mixed candidate reports on consistency in technical interviews, which suggests the “human and conversational” bar is not uniform across interviewers.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

15.0

/ 20

The company’s early-career engineering postings emphasize increasing autonomy and project ownership, which is a real learning pathway when paired with feedback cycles.
Notion is publicly listed with professional development support such as mentorship, education stipends, training, conferences, and internal learning sessions.
The company’s internship descriptions in public listings include mentor-supported project work, but Notion does not publish a single, centralized early-career ramp plan (milestones, rotations, or leveling expectations) that candidates can read upfront.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

16.0

/ 20

The company posts clear compensation ranges for early-career roles (for example, the Early Career Fullstack engineer band) rather than keeping pay fully opaque.
Notion has visible paid internship rates in public postings (including hourly ranges for some Summer 2026 intern roles) and third-party compensation benchmarks for engineering internships.
The company offers stability signals that matter to juniors (benefits plus full-time roles), but not every early-career posting is equally easy to find with pay details outside of specific listings.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.8

/ 20

The company has positive employee sentiment around growth and career opportunities in public reviews, but those reviews are not broken out into early-career cohorts.
Notion has intern and employee reviews that talk about learning, psychological safety, and room to make mistakes, yet they do not provide hard outcome proof like promotion cadence or intern-to-offer conversion.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint and recurring early-career postings suggest steady hiring, but public materials still miss the outcome metrics grads use to de-risk a first job (12–24 month retention, time-to-promotion, and conversion rates).
