Locations and presence

Early-career roles appear primarily office-based or hybrid depending on country and team, with campus hiring tied to specific office locations.

Palpable Score

76.6

/ 100

Tencent is one of the most accessible large tech employers for early-career candidates because Tencent runs large-scale internship and campus recruitment and advertises global graduate hiring across multiple countries. The main cap on the score is transparency consistency: candidates can find interview-stage signals via reviews and some job ads, but Tencent does not consistently publish a single, role-by-role public standard for timelines, feedback, and pay ranges across regions.
