FAQ
Am I still an employee after the trainee year?
YES! We want to invest in you and your future here at Lime. The trainee year is just the start of your career, ensuring you become kickass in your field of expertise.
Your development continues with an individual development plan set up together with your manager. We are continuously working on new ways to help our employees develop and grow to become true Lime stars.
What is the European Trainee Program?
Trainee program/graduate program – you name it. It is a fulltime job where we onboard, and get you up to speed by introductory lectures, case studies, and learning by doing.
We recruit trainees across our offices in Europe, making the program a shared experience and giving you the opportunity to build a strong network with fellow trainees across the region.
Who can apply?
The European Trainee Program is designed for recent graduates and candidates with up to two years of work experience after graduation. We require an academic degree in a relevant field. To support collaboration and day-to-day work, applicants also need to be fluent in the local language of the office they apply to. You can read more about the specific requirements for each position here.
What happens after I have submitted my application?
After submitting your application, you’ll be invited to complete a chat-based interview with our AI assistant, Hubert.ai. This is a standard step in our recruitment process and is completed by all applicants.
Completing the interview does not guarantee that your application will move forward, but every application is carefully and manually reviewed by our recruitment team before decisions are made.
We are well aware that job hunting is hard work, and we appreciate the time you have invested in your application. You will hear back from us regardless of the outcome. Keep an eye on your inbox (and the spam folder) for the follow-up on your application.
Am I applying for one position or is this a rotating program?
You are applying for one of our positions at one of our locations, and you will receive specific training for that role.
It would be great if you already know which position you’re interested in. But don’t worry, it’s not set in stone. You can get more info about our positions here.
Does Lime cover travel expenses during the recruitment process?
Please always check with the Lime colleague first to confirm whether travel is necessary or if a Teams meeting is more suitable. If long-distance travel is approved, Lime will cover the costs and handle the booking.
Am I paid as a trainee?
Of course, you will have a salary just like the rest of us!
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.
