About the company
Peak is a “decision intelligence” AI company that builds software used for commercial decision-making in areas like inventory and pricing. The company has described the product as an AI platform plus pre-built applications that businesses can configure to their own data and workflows. Peak was founded by Richard Potter and **David Leitch (with **Atul Sharma also named as a co-founder in company materials). Public sources vary on whether the founding year is 2014 or 2015, and Peak has been owned by **UiPath since March 2025.
Locations and presence
Peak is rooted in **Manchester, and historically built a significant team presence in Jaipur, India alongside UK hiring. Since the 2025 acquisition, Peak’s live vacancies are typically routed through UiPath’s hiring system, with roles showing hybrid footprints across multiple countries.
Palpable Score
52.0
/ 100
Peak has credible early-career entry points on record, including a structured data science graduate scheme and internships, plus a clearly-described interview structure. The score is held back by the fact that current live roles skew experienced post-acquisition, pay transparency is inconsistent, and public outcome signals include layoffs and mixed employee sentiment.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company ran a defined Data Science Graduate Scheme (12 months) with four three-month rotations across teams, which is a strong, explicit early-career entry door when active.
  • Peak has advertised internship routes (including long-term STEM placements), but current “open positions” listed on Peak’s site mainly point to experienced commercial and specialist roles via UiPath.
  • The company does not currently show multiple always-on 0–3 year full-time roles on the public-facing roles list, which weakens evidence of repeat junior intake today.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company describes a staged process publicly (intro call, team meeting, a task you present back, then leadership chat), which helps early-career candidates plan effort.
  • Peak has candidate interview feedback indicating multi-round technical processes with clear stages, but that consistency varies by role and team.
  • The company has public complaints about communication and experience quality in some reviews, which keeps fairness below the top band.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.2
/ 20
  • The company has described a two-week induction plus a technical “Basecamp” training track for new data scientists, which is exactly the kind of ramp structure juniors benefit from.
  • Peak’s graduate scheme design used rotations and a shared group project, which creates hands-on learning rather than narrow single-team exposure.
  • The company does not publish a consistent, role-by-role onboarding plan (buddying, 1:1 cadence, review checkpoints) for the broader org, so support signals cluster around data science more than every function.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

9.0
/ 20
  • The company has compensation-and-benefits signals in third-party reporting, but Peak rarely publishes salary ranges in role ads that early-career candidates can reliably access.
  • Peak’s current roles are often posted through UiPath’s systems, and compensation visibility depends on location and posting channel rather than being consistently stated up front.
  • The company has limited public, specific benefits detail tied to early-career roles, which caps confidence on pay fairness and stability for grads.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.8
/ 20
  • The company has published at least one early-career story from a Data Science Graduate explaining why they joined and what they learned, which supports the idea that some juniors ramp well.
  • Peak has public reporting and employee reviews that reference layoffs and turmoil during the pre-acquisition period, which is negative evidence for early-career stability.
  • The company does not publish measurable outcomes such as internship-to-offer conversion, time-to-promotion, or 12–24 month retention for early-career hires, so outcomes stay hard-capped.
