About the company
ShipBob is a logistics and fulfillment platform for e-commerce brands, combining a software layer (inventory and order management) with a distributed fulfillment network. ShipBob supports direct-to-consumer and mid-market merchants with pick-pack-ship operations, returns, and shipping optimization across multiple regions. The company operates through a mix of corporate teams (sales, engineering, merchant success) and warehouse-based operations roles.
Locations and presence
ShipBob is headquartered in Chicago and hires as a remote-first company across the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, India, and Australia. Operations hiring also shows on-site fulfillment roles in multiple states, and ShipBob’s merchant network coverage includes Canada and Europe.
Palpable Score
63.0
/ 100
ShipBob is accessible for early-career candidates through genuine “no prior experience required” sales roles and hourly warehouse roles with clearly stated pay. The scoring ceiling comes from limited true 0–2 year pathways in corporate tech roles right now and mixed public signals on stability and retention.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company lists early-career-friendly openings like Business Development Representative with “no prior experience required,” which is a real entry door for graduates.
  • ShipBob recruits for frontline operations roles such as ICQA Associate and Lead Fulfillment Associate, which are typical first-job pathways with clear schedules and hourly pay posted.
  • The company’s corporate tech openings skew experienced (for example Software Development Engineer II and above), which narrows entry-level access outside sales and warehouse tracks.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes a plain-language interview overview (recruiter conversation, hiring manager, assessment or case study, panel interview) and sets expectations for virtual interviewing.
  • ShipBob commits publicly to post-interview feedback and “equitable, consistent” hiring resources for candidates from entry level to leadership.
  • The company’s applications can be heavy for juniors in practice, with long written prompts and availability questions embedded directly in some role applications.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company builds role-level learning into early-career sales hiring, including a first-month onboarding program plus shadowing experienced BDRs and training on tools like Salesforce and Outreach.
  • ShipBob describes internal mobility access as a policy, with open positions visible to employees and internal candidates prioritized before external recruiting.
  • The company does not publish a clear early-career ramp plan for engineering or warehouse tracks beyond individual job descriptions, so support consistency is harder to judge across teams.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company posts concrete pay information for early-career roles, including a base-plus-commission package and full base range for BDR, and hourly rates for ICQA Associate roles.
  • ShipBob lists tangible stability benefits such as quarterly wellness days, parental leave, healthcare coverage, retirement support, and an employee assistance program.
  • The company does not appear to publish pay ranges for every role in every region in one consistent format, so transparency is strong in some postings but not fully universal.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company describes internal mobility as a standard pathway, which can translate into early promotions when managers actively use the process.
  • ShipBob has public evidence of repeated layoffs across multiple years, including WARN notices in multiple states and a reported workforce reduction in 2022, which adds risk for early-career retention.
  • The company has mixed early-career sentiment in public reviews, including sales feedback describing churn and Glassdoor layoff-tag reviews, and ShipBob does not publish intern conversion rates or junior promotion timelines.
