Palpable Score

72.7
/ 100
Scale has real early-career entry points through a dedicated university hub, recurring intern and new grad roles, and a named new grad program for Strategic Projects. Scale is better than many AI startups on transparency, with a published SWE hiring flow and a salary band on at least one flagship new grad posting. Early-career outcomes and stability are the main limiters because public signals point to high intensity and the company has had recent layoffs, while early-career conversion and promotion metrics are not published.
