About the company

Zefir runs a French real estate marketplace focused on making home buying and selling faster and less uncertain. Zefir works with a network of partner real estate professionals and positions the service as a more streamlined, tech-enabled transaction compared with traditional agency routes. Zefir also markets AI-driven features tied to matching buyers and listings and speeding up decision cycles. Zefir serves homeowners, buyers, and partner agents across the residential property journey.

Locations and presence

Zefir is headquartered in Paris, with the main listed office location in central Paris. Zefir describes a remote-friendly setup that varies by team, alongside roles that are explicitly on-site for some functions.

Palpable Score

68.1

/ 100

Zefir stands out for publishing a salary calculator with clear levels, and for listing concrete perks and benefits that reduce early-career risk. The main constraint is volume: Zefir hires interns and some early-career profiles, but the most visible pipeline still skews toward experienced hires, and outcomes like promotion rates are not published.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company has recurring internship hiring, including multiple Paris-based stages advertised publicly with stated monthly compensation.
Zefir lists intern roles on the main ATS and also advertises that some internships can lead to full-time opportunities, which creates a plausible entry ramp.
The company’s publicly visible non-intern openings skew toward experienced roles (engineering, design, growth, management), so consistent first-job access outside internships is harder to find.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.3

/ 20

The company publishes a concrete recruitment flow in job ads, commonly outlining steps like screening, technical interview, behavioural interview, a final assignment, and a reference call.
Zefir has candidate-reported interview loops that include structured case work with a defined timebox and a clear sequence of HR, manager, and leadership conversations.
The company also has negative interview feedback describing weak manager communication and subjective decision-making, which lowers confidence that the process feels consistent across teams.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.7

/ 20

The company’s salary calculator defines an “Intern or Newbie” level with explicit expectations around learning from others, limited autonomy, and supervision from more senior peers or a manager.
Zefir is described by employees as running frequent feedback sessions (every two weeks) and operating with high trust and autonomy, which can accelerate learning when paired with the right manager.
The company has employee feedback warning about workload and work-life balance in some roles, which can reduce the practical support an early-career hire feels day to day.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.3

/ 20

The company publishes a salary calculator intended to standardise compensation, and multiple job ads include explicit compensation ranges plus equity.
Zefir lists concrete benefits such as employer-paid health insurance (including family coverage), meal support, mobility support, equipment choices, and stock options available broadly rather than only for senior hires.
The company has negative employee feedback around sales commission plan alignment versus what was communicated, which is a pay-fairness risk for early-career commercial hires.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.8

/ 20

The company has strong overall employee sentiment on Glassdoor, including a high share of reviewers recommending Zefir and many reviews highlighting team quality and transparency.
Zefir also has outcome risk signals in public reviews, including high pressure, long hours in some functions, and “call centre” style concerns for sales roles.
The company publishes a career level framework via the salary calculator, but Zefir does not publish early-career outcomes like promotion timelines, conversion rates from internships, or retention metrics, which caps the score.
