Pros

I worked at Lime for 3.5 years, seeing it go from a niche product to being a part of the cultural fabric of London. Seeing and being a part of that change first hand was a once in a lifetime experience I am grateful to have been a part of. I worked my way up the ranks, starting out as a battery swapper and ending as a leader of a large scale team within the operation. I am and will forever be thankful to the people who put their trust in me to deliver. The culture was tight and people got along. I have made lifelong friends from my time at Lime, some of which have since moved with me to a different business within the industry.

Cons

In mid-2024, a management shake up occurred within our market. Out was the tight, friendly culture and in was one of fear and intimidation. Shouting matches became a regular fixture, with the whole office expected to pick sides. This directly affected your standing with the people in charge and put you in the firing line for demotions and termination. This is compounded by the general American culture of 'move fast and break things' and 'plead for forgiveness rather than ask for permission' which has resulted in the business being in a difficult place within the market.
