About the company

wefox is a European insurance platform that combines digital distribution with MGA services across multiple markets. The company runs country businesses in places like Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, plus “other markets” across Europe. wefox positions the platform as connecting insurers, sales partners, and customers with a focus on simpler digital insurance access. Public headcount signals are inconsistent across sources, which makes it harder to judge the company’s true hiring volume for early-career roles.

Locations and presence

The company lists Zürich as headquarters and markets itself as operating across Europe. wefox’s public portfolio highlights Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and additional European markets.

Palpable Score

50.6

/ 100

wefox shows some genuine early-career entry points and learning signals through “junior” roles, coaching language, and role-based exposure to cross-functional work, but the public job board was unavailable during review so current early-career volume cannot be verified. Hiring experience data is mixed, with a meaningful share of negative interview reports, and pay transparency is limited because salary ranges are not shown. Public signals about restructuring and workforce changes also make early-career outcomes harder to rely on without clearer retention and promotion data.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company links “Show all jobs” from the careers page, but the hosted job board was unreachable at the time of review, which blocks verification of how many 0–3 year roles are open right now.
wefox has advertised entry-level-labelled roles such as “Junior Accountant (f/m/d)” in Vaduz with career stage tagged as “Berufseinstieg”, but the requirements include a completed apprenticeship plus at least 2 years of accounting experience.
The company appears in investor job lists with junior titles like “Junior Product Business Analyst (f/m/d)” and “Junior Data Business Analyst (f/m/d)”, but the linked job detail pages were removed, so junior scope and requirements cannot be checked.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company’s “Junior Accountant (f/m/d)” posting lays out concrete tasks (monthly closing support, group reporting, Abacus, Lucanet) and includes equal-opportunity language plus data-protection consent wording.
wefox’s Glassdoor interview page reports a mixed candidate experience, including common stages like phone interviews, one-on-ones, and skills tests.
The company has multiple Glassdoor interview entries describing inconsistent interviewer behaviour for roles like Data Engineer and Claims Manager, including complaints about dismissive screening and lack of follow-up.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company lists “individual development programmes, training and coaching” as a stated benefit, alongside flexibility (office, hybrid, or remote depending on team).
wefox structures at least some junior roles with practical learning by involving the junior hire in cross-team projects (IT, Controlling) and collaboration with a local accounting team.
The company has recent employee feedback describing strong learning in the product organisation, but there is no public onboarding or ramp plan detail for early-career hires that can be checked role-by-role.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

8.8

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges on the public materials reviewed, which limits any confidence on pay fairness for graduates and early-career hires.
wefox advertised “Junior Accountant (f/m/d)” as a 1-year fixed-term contract (with a note about possible extension), which is less stable than a permanent early-career role.
The company promotes benefits like flexible hours and a mental health programme, but the public information does not explain junior equity, bonus, or clear pay positioning by level.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.8

/ 20

The company has at least one recent Glassdoor review describing strong learning and a positive experience over more than a year, which is a concrete but small-scale signal.
wefox also has recent Glassdoor feedback raising concerns about business continuity, which is a negative stability signal even though the review does not break outcomes down by career stage.
The company has been linked in public reporting to layoffs and to a financing and restructuring programme, and there is no published data on 12–24 month retention, promotion rates, or internal mobility for junior hires.
