Why Lime European Trainee Program?
Quotes from previous trainees at Lime
“From day one, Lime Technologies has stood out as a unique environment for personal and professional growth, embracing a “learning by doing” philosophy. This approach pushed me beyond my comfort zone to seek solutions independently while equipping me with the tools to chart a clear roadmap. Lime has empowered me to forge my own path and cultivate a strong sense of autonomy.”
Nicoline Hofbauer
Technical Project Manager
“One of the best parts of my experience at Lime has been the strong support from my teammates. In the fast-moving world of software engineering, having a team that’s always ready to help and guide you is incredibly valuable. It’s not just about solving tough problems; it’s about being part of a team that truly cares about each other’s success. Looking back on my first year, I can say every teammate has supported me at important moments.
This culture of helping and supporting each other is a key part of what makes Lime special.”
John Trass
Software Engineer
“After the first introduction weeks, packed with fun cases, group exercises, lectures, and presentations, we were all eager to get started. Each of us was assigned customers and projects based on our roles. It was exciting and inspiring, but of course at the same time, totally new and a little bit scary. That’s why I’m especially grateful for Lime’s supportive culture, where reaching out to senior colleagues for help is encouraged. Everyone is incredibly helpful and supportive!”

Account Manager, Existing Business
“If you express your ambitions and what you need, then there are really great opportunities for a career here.”

We have a flat salary rate during the trainee period. After your first year with us, you will have an individually set salary based on your performance, development etc.
What is the setup for the intro weeks in Lund?
Together with all new trainees from our different offices, you will get two weeks of intense training in Lund. Prepare for a few late pizza case nights, as well as lots of social activities to help you bond with other trainees and senior colleagues alike.
If Lund is not your local office, you will share a room together with a colleague at an apartment hotel in the city center. You will be busy, and we promise a lot of fun!
All trainee sessions and materials are in English as it’s our corporate language.
What happens after the two introduction weeks?
After heading back to your local office, you will continue having remote training sessions with the other trainees with different intensity throughout the trainee year. Combined with theoretical training, you will start working on projects as well as tagging along with senior colleagues. We are convinced that learning by doing is the most effective method, and thereby you will quickly get your own responsibilities, with loads of support.
How will I collaborate with the other trainees throughout the year?
We really want you to stay close to your fellow trainee colleagues. That’s why we encourage you to stay in touch, share your knowledge, and to visit one other office during the first year.
