About the company

vly is a Berlin-based foodtech company making dairy alternatives (notably milk and yogurt alternatives) built around plant proteins. Public job descriptions position the work as product-led and growth-focused, with sales and marketing roles heavily represented. Hiring is run through Recruitee with multiple Berlin roles, including student and junior titles.

Locations and presence

vly is centred in Berlin, and job listings are primarily Berlin-based with some hybrid options. The company’s public presence is DACH-focused in roles like LEH sales and influencer work.

Palpable Score

60.1

/ 100

vly provides real entry points through Werkstudent and junior commercial roles, and the job ads include concrete benefits and direct coaching signals. The main limitation is outcomes and pay transparency: there’s little public data on retention or progression, and salary ranges are not posted.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

14.2

/ 20

The company hires explicitly early-career through a Werkstudent:in – Influencer Marketing role, which is a genuine “learn in role” entry point for students.
vly advertises a Junior Key Account Manager:in role (Berlin, LEH) that is framed around “erste praktische Saleserfahrungen,” which is accessible for early-career candidates.
The company’s Recruitee board shows multiple openings, but only a subset are junior or student-labelled, so entry-level access is present rather than core to all hiring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.5

/ 20

The company explicitly offers coaching support in the Junior Key Account Manager:in posting, including direct reporting to a Key Account Lead and “individuelle Coaching-Möglichkeiten.”
vly provides practical enablement benefits that help juniors ramp, including modern equipment (Mac/Windows) and team routines like lunches and offsites referenced in job ads.
The company does not describe onboarding structure, feedback cadence, or progression milestones inside the postings, so learning support reads as manager-led rather than system-led.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.6

/ 20

The company lists several concrete benefits (for example Deutschland-Ticket/BVG support and Urban Sports Club subsidies) that increase early-career stability in Berlin.
vly’s roles appear to be paid and formal (Werkstudent, junior, manager roles), with no visible use of unpaid trial work in the public postings reviewed.
The company does not publish salary ranges, and the application asks for Wunschgehalt, which reduces pay fairness transparency and caps this pillar.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.8

/ 20

The company has very limited public employee-review coverage for outcomes: Glassdoor shows few or no employee reviews, so retention and growth sentiment are hard to validate.
vly’s careers board shows repeated hiring across Sales and Marketing, which signals growth, but does not prove junior promotions or 12–24 month retention.
The company’s LinkedIn presence shows a modest team size and visibility, but public profiles don’t provide enough aggregated evidence of early-career progression patterns.
