About the company

Root Global sells emissions measurement and reduction software for food and beverage processors, with a focus on collecting farm-level primary data at scale. The product positioning is built around helping customers move from estimates to higher-quality Scope 3 inputs and then turning those inputs into action plans. Root Global publishes customer stories about farm-level data collection and reporting deliverables. Public investor-network listings also frame Root Global as building a “Carbon OS” for the food industry.

Locations and presence

The company works in-person from an office in Berlin and sets an expectation of five days a week in-office for some roles. Root Global also mentions country leads based in their respective countries, which suggests a small distributed commercial layer around a Berlin core.

Palpable Score

55.1

/ 100

Root Global is strongest on role clarity and interview transparency in a few key postings, including step-by-step processes and a stated goal of moving quickly. The score drops on pay transparency and early-career outcomes, and the public candidate feedback includes reports of long, heavy processes with weak follow-up.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company hires a Recruiting Intern / Working Student role that runs for 12 months and owns real recruiting outcomes (sourcing through to offer).
Root Global lists a Customer Success Associate role tagged “Junior and Mid level” with a 1+ year experience bar, which is accessible to early-career candidates rather than requiring long tenure.
The company’s live openings shown publicly are mostly not graduate-labelled, and only a small subset are credibly “0–2 year” entry points at any one time.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company publishes an interview plan for engineering that includes a screening call, CTO intro, technical interview, and an office visit with a real-world scenario and coffee chats.
Root Global states an ambition to keep end-to-end hiring to around 10 working days and to send prep material for each step, which is a concrete transparency promise.
The company has public candidate reports describing multi-week timelines, a very heavy final round, and at least one case-study process with missing feedback after follow-ups, which hurts consistency.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.7

/ 20

The company offers an individualised learning budget as a standard benefit in publicly visible role pages.
Root Global’s Recruiting Intern / Working Student role reports directly to a co-founder and is written as a high-ownership seat, which can translate into fast learning when the manager invests time.
The company does not publish a practical onboarding or mentoring cadence for early-career hires (for example 30-60-90 ramp, buddy system, scheduled 1:1 rhythm) in the most visible job posts.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

9.7

/ 20

The company publishes several tangible perks and benefits, including fitness and mobility support, and vacation policies that are framed as generous on the careers page.
Root Global does not provide salary ranges for the junior-facing roles visible on major job platforms, which makes pay benchmarking hard for graduates.
The company has at least one public worker review raising pay and management concerns, and the small sample size makes it hard to confirm whether this is isolated or patterned.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.7

/ 20

The company has limited public outcomes evidence for early-career progression, such as promotions, internal mobility examples, or 12–24 month retention patterns.
Root Global has public interview feedback that includes negative experiences and weak follow-up, which is an outcomes signal for candidates even when employee data is scarce.
The company’s public footprint shows ongoing hiring across functions, but there is no published early-career track record that a graduate can validate independently.
