Palpable Score

75
/ 100
Standard Chartered offers clear early-career entry through global graduate and internship pathways, plus earlier on-ramps like spring insight programmes in some markets. Standard Chartered also gives candidates a more explicit view of the hiring journey than many banks, including assessment centre guidance and timeline expectations. The score is capped by limited public pay transparency for junior roles and incomplete public data on conversion, retention, and promotion rates, alongside recent cost-cutting job moves affecting some teams.
