Palpable Score

77.3
/ 100
Airbus is one of the more accessible large employers for early-career talent because Airbus runs multiple structured entry routes and publishes real program detail, not just marketing. The main gap is that pay is not consistently transparent on official early-career pages, and the company does not publish cohort outcomes like conversion rates or time-to-promotion.
