About the company

Limejump built an energy-tech platform around a virtual power plant, helping flexible assets and renewable generators access balancing and power trading opportunities. Shell acquired Limejump in 2019, and Limejump has operated within Shell’s energy activities since then. The most recent public update from Shell says Limejump is no longer offering renewals or new contracts, while continuing to support customers on existing contracts. That strategic shift matters for early-career hiring because it usually reduces team growth and the number of junior entry points.

Locations and presence

Limejump is UK-based, with London listed as the registered office location via Companies House and commonly referenced as the main hub on public profiles. Public-facing information is now largely hosted on Shell’s site under Shell Energy Europe.

Palpable Score

50.0

/ 100

Limejump has credible signals of a supportive, learning-friendly team environment, but the current business status and thin public vacancies footprint make entry-level access hard to verify. The lack of salary ranges and inconsistent process timelines in candidate reports also limit confidence for early-career applicants.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

6.0

/ 20

The company does not show a live, Limejump-specific vacancies feed or a repeatable intern or graduate intake that early-career candidates can rely on.
Limejump is publicly described as no longer offering renewals or new contracts after a strategic review, which commonly correlates with fewer new hires and fewer junior openings.
The company’s publicly visible roles and employee-review “top jobs” skew toward experienced titles (Software Engineer, Business Development Manager, Product Manager), rather than 0–2 year “Associate/Analyst” style entry points.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company has candidate-reported interview steps that include a practical SQL test plus an in-person interview, which is role-relevant for analyst hiring when kept time-bounded.
Limejump has at least one interview report describing a long timeline and slow closure (weeks to hear back after interview), which is tough on early-career applicants juggling multiple processes.
The company lacks a published “how we hire” page that spells out stages, expected timelines, and feedback norms, so candidates have to infer the process from scattered reports.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company is reviewed by employees as having a knowledge-sharing environment and an “innovative solutions” culture, which supports on-the-job learning for juniors.
Limejump’s work domain (24/7 trading, flexibility optimisation, PPAs) tends to produce fast feedback loops that help early-career people build commercial and technical judgement quickly.
The company does not publish onboarding, mentoring, or progression frameworks, so the strength of coaching is harder to verify beyond review snippets.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges for Limejump roles in a consistent, findable way, which caps confidence on pay fairness for graduates comparing offers.
Limejump’s Glassdoor summary shows compensation and benefits as mid-range rather than standout, which suggests “fine” but not clearly market-leading without ranges.
The company now sits inside Shell’s wider structure, which can support stability, but Limejump-specific benefits and junior pay practices are not clearly documented in public materials.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company’s Glassdoor summary indicates mixed-to-positive employee sentiment (recommend-to-a-friend and category scores), which is a partial retention signal but not early-career specific.
Limejump’s ratings show career opportunities sitting below culture and work-life balance, which can mean progression depends on manager and timing rather than a reliable pathway.
The company’s public updates focus on customer support under existing contracts rather than growth, and Limejump does not publish early-career outcomes like promotions, tenure patterns, or junior-to-mid conversion rates.
