Hands Down the Best Company
Senior Project Engineer (Former Employee) - Manassas, VA - March 15, 2017
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNo wonder why Lilly has been there for a long time. Eli Lilly really live by the saying that "the workforce is the most valued asset of the company". When Lilly closed the facility I was part of, they offered me any open position I wanted and even a lower position without experience. Lilly would protect my current pay for the first three years while I gain the required experience. This kind of loyalty while they offered an awesome severance package should I decide to leave the company. The mistake I made is that I left because of geographical preference to stay on the east coast. I wish I could rejoin Eli Lilly. If you have an opportunity to join Lilly, please accept the offer, you will be glad to work for this wonderful organization.
Pros
Best company overall
Cons
Nothing I could think off

Strong values
Consultant, Med Affairs (Former Employee) - Indianapolis - January 26, 2023
Strong values and history make for a clear vision at Lilly. Very large companies like this will have awesome teams and toxic teams. I'v'e had both. Restructuring is a little too frequent. Very high on networking and relationship building so be prepared for that if you're to be successful.

Intern during Covid
Finance Intern (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - January 18, 2023
Lilly was a cool company with nice people but I interned in the midst of Covid 19 and didn’t feel as though I got the breadth of experience most student received in prior years.

Lots of Freedom
Senior Specialty Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Texas - January 12, 2023
Sales rep can come and go as you want. Make friends with management and you will do fine regardless of sales success. Be careful what feedback you give. Hardest part of the job is the planning and implementing programs that do not work.
Pros
Plenty of vacation; great place to work for people of color
Cons
Bonus structure is low

Good work/life balance
Associate Sales Manager (Current Employee) - New Jersey - January 10, 2023
Good work/life balance with two paid company shutdowns-- one for the 4th of July and another for Christmas/New years. Pay could be more competitive compared to other pharma companies.

Well organized, Management is well trained, Relaxed
Clinical Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - December 9, 2022
I was contracted several times at Lilly but one was very special. It involved a secure project for finance that had global considerations and was not discussed in clear terms. So the effort turned out to be a two year bust and the end of Waterfall development and the introduction of Agile development. That was very historically IMPORTANT don't you know...
Pros
Friendly management, great working areas, etc., etc.
Cons
Other than parking there are none. Parking is major issue.

Good place to intern
R&D Intern (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - November 24, 2022
Enjoyed my internship experience - lots of mentorship and learning opportunities available. There are lots of tours and seminars for interns to learn more about the company. Make sure you take the time to meet more people on your team and network outside of your department.

Good pay and good benefits.
Consultant (Former Employee) - Indianapolis - November 17, 2022
Good benefits, at higher levels it is the like the good old boys club. But now it includes a more diverse group, but it is still quite like that. Pay is good and benefits are good. Management so so, it depends who you work for and and what area.

Varying experiences
Project Manager (Current Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - November 15, 2022
Management drives the culture at Lilly. So goes the Sr leadership so goes the culture. The culture is driven by those who report to the ceo. Great pay, good people, challenging work. People work hard and likely more than 40 hours per week.

Quality Systems Consultant (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - November 10, 2022
What is the best part of working at the company? It was intellectually challenging and a great team working atmosphere. There was a true passion by leadership to help me grow in my career. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Very short timelines and heavy/delayed upper leadership input. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It shifted from a family-friendly and warm working environment to stoic and hostile. It also shifted from a research-first agenda to a social/political-first agenda. The application of ICH GCP guidelines is no longer incorporated into the employee policies. Employee privacy is no longer applicable. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Informative meetings and collaborative working meetings.

Ok
Operator (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - October 23, 2022
Good pay and benefits but long hours and graveyard shift. 12 hour graveyard shifts are rough. 12 is too much and nights messes with your mind. Hard to sleep.
