/ 100
WSP is easy to spot as an early-career destination because the company runs multiple structured entry routes across internships, placements, apprenticeships, and graduate programmes, with clear pathways into technical practice. Hiring information is unusually detailed in some early-career channels, and support for professional development is visible through chartership mentoring, early-career networks, and wellbeing support. Pay looks stable and internships are paid, but salary transparency is patchy across regions and role types, which caps the overall score.
