Palpable Score
63.7
/ 100
Lavazza offers real entry points for students and graduates through recurring internships and an identifiable graduate pathway, with some transparency on steps for at least certain roles. The main limit is inconsistency: candidate feedback points to uneven timelines and early-career pay clarity is often missing, which caps confidence in outcomes and fairness.
Pillar 1: Entry-level access

Score

15
/ 20
  • The company regularly posts early-career internships (for example, 6-month full-time HQ internships in Turin) across functions like international markets and R&D-adjacent teams.
  • Lavazza also advertises junior and intern-titled roles across regions (for example, “Junior Accountant” and multiple “Intern” postings), signalling openings beyond only senior hiring.
  • The company appears to run a named graduate route (often referred to publicly as a “BeAn Excellence” graduate program), giving graduates another entry channel beyond internships.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13
/ 20
  • The company’s internship listings outline a clear sequence for candidates: application review, an initial interview, a meeting with the future manager, and sometimes a technical challenge.
  • Lavazza’s graduate-candidate reports describe structured stages such as online tests, English assessment, phone interviews, and assessment-day components, which helps applicants prepare.
  • The company also receives public feedback about timelines slipping and rejections arriving after promised feedback windows, which weakens trust in consistency.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14
/ 20
  • The company describes “defined growth paths” and a “transparent evaluation system,” and highlights the option to gain experience across different geographies.
  • Lavazza’s internship reviews frequently mention support from tutors and managers, alongside a learning-oriented environment in several locations.
  • The company runs the Lavazza Group Ambassador Programme, which includes an interview-based selection and structured exposure to coffee origin countries and sustainability work as part of development.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11
/ 20
  • The company explicitly states an internship allowance for at least some internship roles and lists concrete benefits like flexible working and on-site facilities (for example, canteen access and a corporate gym).
  • Lavazza’s intern reviews include repeated downsides on compensation and benefits (for example, “low incomes” and limited time-off), suggesting early-career packages vary and can feel tight.
  • The company rarely posts salary ranges publicly, which makes it harder for early-career candidates to judge market alignment before applying.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.7
/ 20
  • The company has multiple early-career reviews describing supportive teams and useful learning experiences, but also mentions of overtime and weaker pay in some internships.
  • Lavazza frames progression through defined growth paths, a transparent evaluation system, and cross-geography opportunities, which are mechanisms that can support early-career development when applied consistently.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome metrics (such as internship-to-offer rates, promotion timing, or retention for graduate cohorts), so outcomes have to be inferred from scattered reviews and role descriptions.
