About the company

Turing College is an online school focused on helping adults upskill or reskill into tech roles, with longer career programs (like data analytics and software and AI engineering) plus shorter AI-focused programs. The learning model is project-based and mentor-supported, and the company also hires experienced practitioners as paid mentors to review work and run sessions. Turing College has published funding milestones including a €2.5m European Innovation Council grant aimed at building AI-driven tools for adult learning. The company also operates an internal learning platform that the product and engineering team builds and maintains.

Locations and presence

Turing College lists Vilnius as the main base and describes remote-friendly working across a multi-country team. The company also publishes registered entities and addresses in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany alongside Lithuania.

Palpable Score

56.0

/ 100

Turing College offers a real early-career entry point through an entry-level QA role with a published pay range, but most current openings are mid-to-senior, so entry-level access is not yet consistent. Hiring information is fairly readable in the job pages, while outcomes and long-term early-career progression are hard to judge because there is a small public review footprint and no published retention or promotion data.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company advertised a Quality Assurance Engineer role tagged “Entry level” and “Full-time,” making it a genuine early-career option within the product team.
Turing College’s current hiring list leans experienced, including Mid/Senior Backend Engineer, Mid/Senior Frontend Engineer, and a Mid/Senior AI Engineer role requiring 3+ years of software engineering experience.
The company’s paid mentor roles are open and clearly paid, but the Senior Team Lead mentor position asks for at least 2–3 years of industry experience, so the role does not function as a graduate starter role.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company’s QA job post includes a concrete salary ceiling, remote-friendly location notes, and equal-opportunity language, which reduces guesswork for candidates.
Turing College uses a direct email application route for the QA role and names a role-specific hiring contact, but the company does not publish the interview stages or expected timelines for applicants.
The company’s role pages usually spell out scope and reporting lines, for example the Manual QA Engineer role reporting to a QA Manager and listing specific test types like regression and mobile testing.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company frames QA work as collaborating closely with senior developers and supporting the team daily, which can create frequent learning moments through reviews and iteration.
Turing College lists “continuous learning” support in role materials, including access to one of the company’s programs and learning from senior team members, plus the option to move across departments in a hyper-growth stage.
The company has mixed internal feedback on management coaching quality in public employee reviews, including criticism of weak guidance and poor feedback processes, which makes support less predictable for early-career hires.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company publishes pay for some roles, including “up to €4,000 gross” for QA Engineer and “up to €5,000 gross” for Manual QA Engineer.
Turing College pays mentors for both session time and preparation time, and the mentor role lists an hourly range of €25 to €75 gross for flexible part-time work.
The company does not consistently publish salary ranges for the mid/senior engineering roles on the hiring page, which lowers pay transparency and makes it harder to benchmark fairness.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company has a very small public employee-review footprint, which limits confidence on early-career promotion pace, manager quality, and 12–24 month retention patterns.
Turing College has some retention signals inside that small sample, including reviewers describing tenures of more than three years and more than five years.
The company also has a former-employee review (under one year) raising concerns about hustle culture and weak people support, alongside a low work-life balance rating in public review category scores.
