Palpable Score
65.8
/ 100
Sumsub lands in the mid-60s because there is real entry-level access across commercial and operations roles, plus plenty of evidence that hiring stages are structured and communicated. The score is capped by limited salary transparency and mixed signals on how consistent onboarding support feels for new joiners.
Pillar 1: Early-career access
Score
13.3
/ 20
The company hires into junior-branded roles like “Junior Partnerships Manager, EU/UK,” with day-to-day responsibilities that look like a real starter scope in channel sales.
Sumsub also posts entry-level coordinator and assistant roles, including a “Junior PR Manager / PR Coordinator” and an “Entry level” Marketing Team Assistant role.
The company’s main careers feed highlights many senior specialist openings at any one time, so early-career access looks present but not consistently front-and-center.
Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency
Score
15.5
/ 20
The company has multiple candidate reports describing a staged process with clear next steps, including recruiter screening plus role-relevant assessments.
Sumsub has interview write-ups that describe practical but bounded tasks (for example, a short skills test and team case-style discussions) rather than open-ended unpaid projects.
The company has mixed interview sentiment overall, but the public data still points to a process that is usually time-bounded and explainable to candidates.
Pillar 3: Learning and support
Score
13.0
/ 20
The company publicly commits to “open feedback,” “personal development plans,” and learning support, including opportunities to attend industry events.
Sumsub has at least one recent employee review calling out limited support for new joiners and a high-pressure feel for underperformance, which is a risk for early-career ramp time.
The company offers a remote-first setup with hubs, which can support mentoring when teams actively use it, but the public job ads reviewed rarely spell out onboarding structure at the team level.
Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability
Score
12.0
/ 20
The company has employee reviews describing compensation as competitive, and Glassdoor category ratings suggest compensation and benefits are solid but not a standout compared with other tech employers.
Sumsub rarely publishes salary ranges on the postings reviewed, which makes it harder for early-career candidates to judge fairness before investing time in interviews.
The company hires many roles as full-time positions across functions, which is a stability positive, but equity or bonus structure for junior roles is not clearly explained in public listings.
Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes
Score
12.0
/ 20
The company has retention signals in public reviews, including reviewers describing multi-year tenure at Sumsub.
Sumsub has mixed progression signals, with “career opportunities” rated reasonably on Glassdoor overall, but not backed by a clear published promotion pathway for junior employees.
The company shows ongoing hiring volume on LinkedIn across regions, which usually correlates with internal opportunity, but public promotion, cohort progression, and early-career retention data are not shared.
