Palpable Score

63.7

/ 100

Lavazza offers real entry points for students and graduates through recurring internships and an identifiable graduate pathway, with some transparency on steps for at least certain roles. The main limit is inconsistency: candidate feedback points to uneven timelines and early-career pay clarity is often missing, which caps confidence in outcomes and fairness.
