About the company
Vytal Global is a German climate-tech company that runs a software-enabled reusable packaging system for foodservice, events, and venues. The company describes an end-to-end model that includes container traceability plus logistics and washing services, so partners can replace single-use packaging without building their own infrastructure. Vytal Global raised €6.2m in July 2024 and a further €14.2m growth round in March 2025 to support international expansion, including the US. The company lists major venue customers in the US in its hiring materials, including Oracle Park and LA Coliseum.
Locations and presence
Vytal Global lists headquarters in Cologne, with additional presence in Berlin and other locations shown on its public company profile. Current hiring lists roles in Cologne, Berlin, and remote, with some work structured around US expansion.
Palpable Score
58.0
/ 100
Vytal is accessible if you are aiming for internships or a paid entry point that sits close to the leadership team, and the company shares real compensation ranges for some roles. The score is held back by limited visible 0–3 year full-time hiring and thin public evidence on early-career progression and retention beyond a small set of reviews.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.5
/ 20
  • The company is currently advertising an internship, “Praktikum Projektmanagement & Business Operations (m/w/d),” which is a clear early-career entry route.
  • Vytal’s only other publicly listed role at the moment is “Founders Associate (m/w/d) – US Expansion,” which asks for 3–6 years of experience, so it does not function as a graduate-level opening.
  • The company does not show a broader set of junior titles (Junior, Associate, Analyst, Apprentice) in the live job board, which limits entry-level access right now.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company posts a clear salary range (€60,000–€80,000) on the “Founders Associate – US Expansion” listing and outlines concrete responsibilities like performance dashboards and performance reviews.
  • Vytal requests a short 1–2 minute intro video for the project management and business operations internship, which is time-bounded but still adds candidate effort compared with a CV-only first step.
  • The company includes an equal-opportunity statement and also asks applicants not to include a photo, which reduces ambiguity and bias risk in early screening.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company frames the project management and business operations internship as “responsibility from day one,” cross-functional work, and exposure to international scaling topics, which can be strong hands-on learning for students.
  • Vytal’s careers materials list concrete support features like remote work options, “workation” within Europe, and access to training, coaching, and therapy via an external partner.
  • The company has public employee feedback that points to leadership and structure issues, and the job ads do not spell out onboarding plans, buddying, or review cadence in a way that would offset that risk for new grads.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes a salary range for “Founders Associate – US Expansion” and mentions virtual stock options (VSOP), which is unusually transparent for a growth-stage company.
  • Vytal lists tangible benefits such as JobRad, Urban Sports Club, and Guudcard, which are practical value-adds for early-career budgets.
  • The company describes the internship as paid but does not publish the internship pay level, and public reviews flag low salaries, so pay fairness cannot score higher without clearer ranges.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.0
/ 20
  • The company has mixed recent feedback on Glassdoor, including comments about chaotic leadership and low salaries alongside some positive experience reports, which makes outcomes hard to call confidently.
  • Vytal has at least one publicly shared example (from a LinkedIn post) of a student role converting into an internship, but that is anecdotal and not a published company-wide conversion pattern.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome signals like internship-to-offer rates, promotion timelines, or retention stats, so the score is capped by missing evidence rather than a clear negative pattern.
