Palpable Score

72.1
/ 100
Corning gives graduates plenty of entry points through internships, co-ops, and multiple rotational tracks that are described clearly enough to apply without insider context. Corning’s process transparency is better than many industrial employers because the company publishes hiring-process materials, but public interview feedback still points to uneven follow-up and pacing across teams. Pay transparency is a consistent plus in job ads, while early-career outcome reporting is mostly limited to program descriptions and social proof rather than published metrics.
