Palpable Score

Urban Jungle puts real entry-level doors on the careers page, then backs that up with unusually concrete pay ranges, time-boxed tasks, and a promotion cadence that is spelled out in writing. The main limiter is volume and visibility: there are some strong early-career signals, but fewer consistently public junior openings than the best-in-class early-career employers.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company posts true junior titles such as “Junior Product Manager”, with language aimed at candidates early in their career rather than requiring long prior tenure.
  • Urban Jungle has also advertised graduate-entry roles (for example an Operations Associate summer graduate posting), which widens access beyond product and engineering.
  • The company’s visible open-roles list is still relatively small at any one time, so early-career access looks real but not high-volume.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

17.0
/ 20
  • The company describes a step-by-step process for junior hiring, including an initial phone chat and a take-home task that is explicitly timeboxed to 2.5 hours.
  • Urban Jungle publishes a salary range on at least one junior role and explains the interview sequence and who candidates will meet, which reduces guesswork for first-time job seekers.
  • The company publishes a recruitment privacy policy that explains applicant data handling and notes use of an applicant tracking system, which supports a more structured process.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

17.0
/ 20
  • The company states that new hires get formal written feedback quarterly, with meaningful objectives, plus promotions reviewed every six months.
  • Urban Jungle lists a dedicated development budget, access to a senior mentor, and training aligned to doing the job well, which is practical support for early-career ramp-up.
  • The company includes wellbeing support (therapy access, onsite yoga, subsidised sports clubs) and flexibility language, which helps early-career employees sustain pace without burning out.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.7
/ 20
  • The company publishes a wide but explicit starting salary range for the Junior Product Manager role, which is a strong transparency signal for early-career pay.
  • Urban Jungle has advertised graduate roles with stated pay ranges and also lists share options and 25 days of annual leave as standard benefits.
  • The company does not consistently show salary ranges across every role in one place, which limits pay comparability for candidates scanning multiple teams.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

16.0
/ 20
  • The company has publicly shared a batch of internal promotions following an appraisal cycle, spanning multiple functions, which points to movement and progression rather than static junior roles.
  • Urban Jungle has published progression examples via third-party employer profiles describing multi-promotion journeys from earlier-career roles into senior and leadership scopes.
  • The company has enough review volume on Glassdoor to show directional sentiment (recommendation rates and overall ratings), but detailed early-career retention data is still not published.
