First round was a phone screen (basic questions like background and reason for choosing medical writing were asked and interviewer was very friendly). Second round was writing test (based on clinical data abstract writing, table compilation and bibliography) followed by on site interview.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN) in Mar 2023
Interview
First round consisted of a quick phone call with the hiring manager. Then followed by a writing exam that was pretty straight forward. Finally, an in person round. Overall the interview process was standard and pretty fast. Ultimately didn't take the role, but it was a difficult decision for me to make.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company
Interview
Was brought in for a 1:1 interview after doing a writing test at home, took a writing test during the interview too, and was there all day... one interview per hour with one new person each hour. Had a break for lunch at the corporate cafeteria with a staff member so asked questions then.

Question 1
Standard intweview questions in STAR format (situation, task, action, results). Nothing tricky or unusual. Interviewers were repeating the same questions, and after a couple time of getting the same questions I said to a manager, I’ve already been askes that!
