About the company

Wayflyer provides revenue-based financing and working-capital products for ecommerce and consumer brands, using connected trading and marketing data to assess performance and offer funding quickly. Wayflyer launched in 2020 and has funded thousands of businesses, with public claims of more than $5bn deployed. Wayflyer has also talked publicly about reaching monthly profitability in late 2023, after earlier cost-cutting and layoffs. Wayflyer hires across credit, sales, operations, and technology, with a mix of office-based and remote roles.

Locations and presence

Wayflyer lists global offices including Dublin (HQ), London, New York, Sydney, and Charlotte, alongside remote roles across the US and Europe. Several roles describe hybrid expectations that vary by team, with some functions remote-first and periodic offsites.

Palpable Score

63.4

/ 100

Wayflyer offers real entry points through analyst, SDR, and internship routes, plus job descriptions that spell out interview steps and benefits in a way that helps early-career candidates plan. The score is capped by inconsistent salary transparency and a mixed public record on stability and employee experience after documented layoffs.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.8

/ 20

The company recruits for entry-level credit roles that ask for 1–2 years of experience and explicitly say a finance background is not required.
Wayflyer hires entry-level Sales Development Representatives, which is one of the clearest early-career on-ramps in go-to-market teams.
The company has advertised a Credit Internship (Charlotte), which is a practical junior pathway, but internships do not appear as a consistently recurring programme across locations.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.3

/ 20

The company includes a “what to expect after you apply” section in job ads, with a stated multi-stage process and a typical timeline (often four to six weeks) that reduces guesswork for candidates.
Wayflyer has mixed candidate signals in public interview write-ups, including complaints about recorded interviews feeling impersonal and at least one report of role expectations changing from “remote” to office days.
The company publishes an Ireland gender pay gap report and includes explicit data-processing language in job posts, which strengthens transparency even when salary ranges are missing.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.3

/ 20

The company lists concrete support perks that matter early on, including wellbeing resources (an internal wellbeing group), private healthcare, and structured parental leave (including paid primary and secondary caregiver leave).
Wayflyer describes “valuable exposure to senior leadership” through hybrid offices and notes regular CEO presence in the London office, which can translate into closer feedback loops for juniors in that location.
The company frames some junior roles as learning-by-doing through cross-functional work, such as building new processes with management and joining regular customer calls, but most ads stop short of spelling out a week-by-week onboarding ramp.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company offers a broad baseline package (equity scheme, pension plan, health cover, and life and critical illness cover) that signals permanent-employment stability rather than churny contracting.
Wayflyer sometimes shares pay ranges publicly, such as a US marketing role with a published salary band, which is a strong transparency signal when present.
The company does not consistently publish salary ranges for many roles that can suit early-career candidates, including entry-level commercial and analyst postings, which limits confidence on pay fairness across geographies.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company has both positive and negative stability signals: large layoffs were reported in late 2022, while later reporting and company statements point to cost discipline and monthly profitability in late 2023.
Wayflyer’s LinkedIn footprint shows ongoing hiring across entry-level titles (like Credit Analyst and SDR) and multiple hubs, but public evidence of junior promotion timelines or 12–24 month retention is not available.
The company’s public review footprint is mixed, with overall ratings in the mid-3s and some reviews alleging repeated layoffs and leadership churn, which makes early-career outcomes look uneven by team.
