About the company
Zero Gravity is a London-headquartered education and careers platform focused on social mobility, offering mentoring, masterclasses, scholarships and career opportunities to students from low-opportunity backgrounds. Zero Gravity was founded in 2019 and runs a free membership model for students alongside employer and university partnerships. Public impact figures include 8,000+ students supported into top universities and £1.8m+ deployed in scholarships, alongside growth claims that point to a fast-scaling team. Zero Gravity also positions the business as a certified B Corporation and an early-stage, venture-backed company.
Locations and presence
Zero Gravity operates from a central London HQ around Old Street and Barbican. Most advertised roles are London-based with hybrid expectations that typically range from 3–5 days a week in the office.

Zero Gravity is one of the clearer small startups to apply to, with salary ranges on listings, a published hiring process, and benefits that include share options and a personal development budget. The main limitation for graduates is volume: early-career entry points exist, but public job ads show more “a few roles at a time” than steady junior hiring.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company is currently advertising an “Entry and Junior level” Content Creator & Community Manager role, with a defined salary range and a concrete scope.
  • Zero Gravity has posted Junior level roles such as Undergrad Talent Lead, showing that junior titles appear in the hiring mix even when not always live.
  • The company’s public job board is small at any one time, and some “entry/junior” roles still require prior proof points (for example, an existing organic audience track record), which narrows true 0–2 year access.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

16.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes a step-by-step hiring flow that includes an initial chat, a role-relevant take-home task, and a values interview with the Founder and team.
  • Zero Gravity lists the application process directly inside job ads (for example, “Meet Growth team”, “Task based interview”, then “Values interview with CEO and Founder”), which reduces candidate guesswork.
  • The company states the hiring approach uses contextual recruitment techniques and a clear evaluation framework, but public materials do not set explicit time limits for take-home tasks, so workload expectations are harder to judge upfront.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

15.5
/ 20
  • The company offers a £500 annual personal development budget via a dedicated card, which is unusually concrete support at this company size.
  • Zero Gravity publishes progression case studies that include rapid internal moves (for example, a Community Manager stepping into Product Manager within 18 months), which signals room to grow for early hires.
  • The company talks about fast progression and “carving out a role that didn’t exist before”, but public job ads do not consistently spell out onboarding structure, manager cadence, or formal mentoring for new grads.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.5
/ 20
  • The company posts salary ranges on roles across levels, including £28–40k for an entry/junior role and £55–75k for a mid/senior role, which is better than the early-stage norm for pay transparency.
  • Zero Gravity includes stability-oriented benefits for a startup, including private healthcare (with dental and mental health support), 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and a Christmas shutdown.
  • The company offers share options and a MacBook as standard, but public benefits pages do not lay out pension details, family leave policy, or contract-type norms for junior roles, which caps confidence on long-run stability.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

15.0
/ 20
  • The company states that 57% of managers are internal promotions, which is a direct outcome signal rather than a culture claim.
  • Zero Gravity describes an internship-to-full-time pathway where a former student member completed an internship and later returned after graduation as a Software Engineer, which is a strong early-career conversion pattern.
  • The company has positive employee sentiment in public reviews that mention supportive teams, development lines, and balanced working, but the review sample is still small and Zero Gravity does not publish retention or promotion rates by level.
