Palpable Score

74.5
/ 100
Keysight Technologies offers reliable early-career entry through recurring internships and a steady flow of “recent graduate” style roles, backed by published signals that the company hires hundreds of students and sometimes converts interns into regular jobs after graduation. Learning support is a clear strength, with documented mentoring programs (including new-employee mentoring) and a broad internal learning platform. The main constraint is hiring transparency, where public candidate accounts point to inconsistent interview steps and limited feedback, making the process harder to predict for first-time applicants.
