About the company
Robinhood is a financial services company best known for its mobile-first brokerage and investing products. Robinhood offers trading across products like stocks, options, and crypto, plus features such as retirement investing and paid subscription tiers like Robinhood Gold. Robinhood targets retail investors, including many first-time investors, and positions the platform around simpler access and lower barriers to entry. Robinhood also operates internationally in select markets beyond the US.
Locations and presence
Robinhood is largely office-based, with multiple roles stating in-person attendance is expected at least 3 days per week. Robinhood lists hubs across the US (including Menlo Park, New York, Denver, Chicago, and others) plus international locations such as Toronto and several European and APAC sites.
Palpable Score
73.3
/ 100
Robinhood publishes substantial evidence of recurring internships and runs a named Early Talent function with structured programming, which lifts the score for access and support. Robinhood is also unusually transparent on intern pay ranges in job posts, but public evidence is thinner on hiring timelines, feedback norms, and consistent early-career outcomes. Past workforce reductions and mixed employee sentiment pull down the outcomes score.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

16.8
/ 20
  • The company advertises multiple internship roles across functions, including technical and non-technical internships, with clear student eligibility built into application questions (degree type, graduation date, and internship cohort availability).
  • Robinhood hires for Early Talent operations roles that explicitly own internship and new graduate program execution, signaling recurring pipelines rather than one-off intern hiring.
  • The company has stated that paid intern programs run multiple times per year across multiple functions, but a single accessible hub page describing the full early-talent catalogue and timelines was not reliably reachable during this assessment, limiting verification of scale.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company includes an explicit AI usage disclosure in at least one internship application flow, clarifying that AI tools may support parts of recruiting while hiring teams make final decisions.
  • Robinhood uses structured screening approaches for engineering early-career candidates (including automated assessments) and has described using third-party support to reduce bias in job descriptions and parts of technical screening.
  • The company’s public job pages do not consistently lay out full interview stages, expected timelines, or feedback practices for interns and new graduates, so candidates have to infer process details from role-specific postings.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

15.0
/ 20
  • The company’s Early Talent program management scope includes speaker series, onboarding, and manager training as defined responsibilities, which points to planned intern experience design rather than “figure it out on your team.”
  • Robinhood lists a lifestyle wallet benefit that explicitly covers learning and development in internship postings, giving early-career hires budget for skills growth beyond day-to-day work.
  • The company describes broader learning and development investment at company level, but public early-career specifics like mentorship matching, buddy programs, or guaranteed training hours are not consistently spelled out.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

16.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes internship hourly pay by compensation zone in the US for at least one software engineering intern role, including clearly stated rates for top-cost locations and lower-cost regions.
  • Robinhood publishes hourly pay for other intern roles (including People and creative internships) and repeats a consistent benefits bundle for interns such as paid time off and the lifestyle wallet.
  • The company provides fewer publicly available pay-range examples for true new graduate full-time roles in the same period, which limits a clean read on entry-level full-time pay fairness outside internships.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.5
/ 20
  • The company shows signs of intern-to-return-offer pathways and early-career cohorts through multiple public profiles and recruiting communications that reference interns returning and structured early talent communities.
  • Robinhood has disclosed multiple prior workforce reductions and restructurings in recent years, which creates career stability risk for early-career hires even if current headcount is steady.
  • The company’s aggregated employee review sentiment is mixed, with mid-range overall ratings and career-opportunity scores that do not clearly signal consistently strong progression for juniors.
