About the company

Ukio runs a network of furnished apartments for monthly stays, aimed at people relocating for work, remote workers, and corporate housing use cases. Ukio also positions the business as a mix of rentals plus property management, with a standardised, “move-in ready” experience across cities. The company highlights growth in apartment supply and expansion across major European hubs. Public company profiles describe Ukio as founded by alumni from Airbnb and Knotel.

Locations and presence

Ukio’s HQ is listed in Barcelona, with an office footprint that includes Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, and Paris. Many roles are advertised as hybrid, with remote options depending on role and country.

Palpable Score

59.3

/ 100

Ukio offers multiple early-career entry points right now, including junior engineering and business roles plus at least one internship track. The score is held back by pay opacity and a run of employee feedback raising concerns about low salaries, high turnover, and probation-period exits.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.6

/ 20

The company has active junior-labelled roles, including Junior Backend Engineer and Junior RE Business Development Specialist, which is direct access for 0–3 year candidates.
Ukio posts at least one internship-style entry point (Key Account Management Intern), which helps students and new grads get in without needing prior full-time experience.
The company’s open junior roles cluster into a few functions rather than a broad spread across teams, so entry-level access depends heavily on timing.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company has very strong public candidate sentiment on interview experience, including repeated “structured” and “fast communication” accounts.
Ukio receives some candidate feedback that highlights clear early touchpoints with Talent Acquisition and role overviews before deeper interviews.
The company’s job ads still rarely spell out interview stages and timelines in the listing itself, so transparency depends on the recruiter rather than the posting.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.2

/ 20

The company advertises “investment in learning and development” as a standard benefit across roles.
Ukio has employee feedback describing internal growth opportunities and the ability to move across departments or projects, which is valuable early in a career.
The company also has employee feedback describing weak management practices and high-pressure conditions in some teams, which can reduce consistent day-to-day coaching.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.8

/ 20

The company’s public job ads typically avoid salary ranges and rely on “competitive salary” wording, which limits pay fairness signals for juniors before interview time.
Ukio offers benefits that can improve overall stability, including private insurance, bonus language, and an employee stock options plan.
The company has employee feedback pointing to low salaries relative to workload and a declining compensation rating over the last 12 months, which pulls the score down.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.7

/ 20

The company has mixed but usable public outcomes signals, including a mid-range overall rating and a majority of employees saying they would recommend the company.
Ukio has employee feedback alleging high turnover and people being let go near the end of probation, which is a serious early-career risk.
The company does not publish early-career retention, promotion timelines, or progression frameworks, so outcomes rely too heavily on reviews rather than verified progression data.
