Palpable Score

76.7
/ 100
NatWest Group offers multiple genuine early-career entry points at scale through graduate programmes, internships and apprenticeships, with published salaries for several pathways. Hiring is more transparent than many peers because NatWest Group publishes a clear early-talent application process and states candidates receive a personalised feedback report after assessment. Longer-term outcomes are harder to verify because NatWest Group does not publish cohort metrics such as return-offer rates, retention, or time-to-promotion.
