"Life at LimeWire is full of challenges, fun, and surprises. I've been working with Lime Wire for around 7 years, working my way from an email-list lurker to an open-source contributor to a Senior Developer, and there's never been a lull in excitement. The environment is extremely casual, the people are extremely brilliant and dedicated, and the parties run extremely late. There's a constant exposure to new programming trends and techniques, and I'm learning new things daily. Life without LimeWire would be extremely dull."

"I joined LimeWire for the opportunity to make a real difference in how artists and fans are brought together. Lime Wire was already at the center of the revolution, and I wanted to be a part of that! Once I got here, the environment and the people made me wish I'd been here since the beginning. We have such a critical mass of intellect, and I'm incredibly excited by the prospect of what that can draw into Lime. Rather than the stale politics of a corporation, everyone at Lime strives to achieve and learn—and enjoys doing it! It's a great place to work."

Since joining, I have had the opportunity to take part in interesting projects, as well as learn a great deal from my intelligent co-workers. Everyone here enjoys doing what they do, which makes for an awesome work environment. Lots of vacation time, parties, and free lunch doesn't hurt either-- I've never had that anywhere else."
