I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Submitted application, waited about a week or so until got an email saying I was being scheduled for a phone screen, then 2 rounds of interviews over Zoom. Pretty clear and streamlined process.
Quick phone interview asking general questions, followed by technical interview and a 3rd STAR format interview face to face. Long process, often long wait times between interviews and again before an offer.
waited 2 weeks for the hiring manager screen, scheduled the call and we talked about my resume. Waited another two weeks and then got an email to schedule the next steps with the team,
I’ve had four interviews with Eli Lilly over the past four months for different positions at their Boston location. Each time, I advanced all the way to the panel interview stage, only to be rejected without meaningful feedback. It’s frustrating and disheartening, I’m unsure why I was shortlisted multiple times if I wasn’t a strong fit. It feels like they’re not genuinely trying to hire, which wastes candidates' time and energy.
