About the company

Vanta builds security and compliance software that helps companies automate evidence collection and monitoring for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR. The company markets itself as a “trust management” platform, aimed at reducing the manual work of audits and ongoing security checks. Hiring materials also show Vanta expanding products beyond compliance into areas like vendor risk and customer trust workflows. The company operates across the US, UK, Ireland, and Australia.

Locations and presence

Vanta lists offices in San Francisco and New York City, plus London, Dublin, and Sydney. The company also positions many roles as remote-first in the US, with hybrid patterns in some hubs.

Palpable Score

64.6

/ 100

Vanta is meaningfully accessible to early-career candidates in a few pipelines (notably sales development and internships), and the company pairs that with generally strong benefits and credible pay signals. The limiting factor is consistency: candidate experience and enablement signals are mixed, and there is not much public, role-specific evidence of early-career progression and promotion outcomes at scale.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.5

/ 20

The company posts early-career sales roles with explicit low experience ranges, including SDR postings tied to early-stage and specialty motions.
Vanta runs internships in engineering and describes interns shipping work used by customers, rather than isolated “intern projects.”
The company’s overall hiring mix looks senior-heavy across functions, so early-career access appears concentrated in a few tracks rather than broadly available.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.8

/ 20

The company’s careers site includes explicit anti-scam guidance (offers only from a company email domain and no payment requested), which is a concrete transparency signal.
Vanta’s salary transparency is inconsistent across markets and listings, with some postings showing clear pay ranges while others rely on “competitive” language.
The company’s candidate experience signals are mixed in public interview feedback, ranging from standard recruiter and hiring-manager screens to complaints about process quality.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.8

/ 20

The company describes engineering interns ramping from small fixes to leading and fully owning projects, with active support rather than being left alone for a full internship cycle.
Vanta’s sales org has public feedback describing coaching and accessible leadership, which is a real-world support signal for early-career sellers.
The company also has public feedback pointing to uneven enablement and heavy management in parts of the SDR org, which pulls down confidence in consistency.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.5

/ 20

The company publishes (or is widely republished with) concrete salary ranges for several roles, including SDR positions, which reduces early-career pay ambiguity.
Vanta lists substantial baseline benefits such as medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid parental leave, PTO, and 401(k) matching.
The company still has gaps where compensation is not clearly stated in some regions or reposted listings, which caps the score for predictability.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company’s internship write-ups describe interns delivering customer-facing work from early on and increasing scope over the placement, which is a positive short-cycle outcome signal.
Vanta has mixed public SDR outcomes: some feedback highlights coaching and a strong compensation setup, while other feedback flags high targets and slower-than-expected promotion timelines.
The company does not publish clear early-career outcome metrics (promotion rates, retention over 12–24 months, or structured conversion rates from intern to full-time), which limits how high this pillar can go.
