Career progression & salary expectations for our graduates

Alchemy has developed a system of progression which is open and transparent. What makes it different from traditional promotion processes is that there is no limit on the number of people who can be promoted at any time. Very simply if you make the grade you get the reward, and this is a win-win for you and the business.

As you progress through our Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels we clearly communicate what competences, knowledge and skills are required for each.

At Alchemy we created our reward strategy to reflect our values and therefore as well as your salary and our commitment to your professional development we have chosen a range of benefits we believe will align with both your needs and that of the Company.

Starting salary – Bronze: £25k
Annual bonus of up to 20% of your base salary (paid quarterly)
