About the company

OpenUp is an Amsterdam-based mental well-being platform for workplaces, offering 1:1 sessions with psychologists and lifestyle experts, interactive group sessions, mindfulness, and self-guided learning. The company was founded in 2020 by Gijs Coppens and Floris Rost van Tonningen. OpenUp sells to employers and positions the service as preventative support with fast access and multilingual coverage. Public company updates also highlight rapid growth in reach and international expansion.

Locations and presence

OpenUp is headquartered in Amsterdam, with a hybrid work model referenced in hiring FAQs and job posts. Public company location listings also show a Berlin address alongside Amsterdam.

Palpable Score

63.8

/ 100

OpenUp offers multiple genuine early-career entry points right now, including an internship and a sales role explicitly open to 0–2 years, plus visible learning support in those postings. The score is capped by limited pay transparency in job ads and mixed independent signals on employee sentiment and post-interview feedback consistency.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company lists a Marketing intern role in Amsterdam with a defined 6–9 month internship period and hands-on campaign, content, and channel work.
OpenUp hires for Business Development Representative (BNLX) with an explicit 0–2 years of experience requirement, which is a direct early-career gate-opening signal.
The company’s live vacancies skew toward commercial and support roles (plus freelance experts), with fewer visible 0–3 year entry points across product, engineering, and analytics.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.7

/ 20

The company publishes candidate-facing process expectations on the job board, including an aim to complete the process in about one month and a typical four-round structure.
OpenUp includes an explicit statement that AI tools may support parts of recruitment while humans make hiring decisions, and job posts name a contact person for questions.
The company has mixed candidate feedback on follow-ups, including at least one interview report noting no feedback provided after the interview.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.7

/ 20

The company includes a €1,500 yearly development budget in the BDR posting, plus company-wide training programs as a repeated learning signal.
OpenUp frames the Marketing intern role around skill-building work (WordPress, newsletters, translations, video content, cross-team collaboration), rather than observation-only tasks.
The company talks about hybrid flexibility and team culture, but public materials do not spell out mentoring, onboarding checklists, or review cadence for juniors.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.7

/ 20

The company lists tangible benefits in early-career-friendly roles, including 27.5 vacation days, hybrid work options, and free access to the platform for employees and families.
OpenUp has third-party salary submissions visible (for example Marketing Specialist and Account Executive ranges in Amsterdam), but these are not a substitute for employer-posted pay bands.
The company does not publish salary ranges in the job ads reviewed (including the internship and BDR postings), which limits pay fairness visibility before interview.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.7

/ 20

The company has mixed independent sentiment, including a Glassdoor snapshot showing 49% recommending working at OpenUp and 49% reporting a positive business outlook.
OpenUp has visible growth signals in the company’s own timeline (including a stated 450 colleagues at one point), but public data on junior retention and promotions is not published.
The company has some positive interview accounts describing clear expectations and respectful process, but there are also entries mentioning weak feedback loops, which creates uneven early-career predictability.
