Palpable Score

77.1
/ 100
Dominion Energy offers clear, repeated entry points for students and graduates through internships, co-ops, and Associate-level roles, with unusually explicit intern-to-offer outcomes shared publicly. Hiring transparency is helped by published interview guidance and testing information, but pay transparency is limited because many job ads do not show salary ranges. The overall picture is a stable early-career platform with strong intern conversion signals, while longer-term progression signals are less consistently evidenced in public sources.
