After applying for the position, you are require to taking and passing a personality assessment test to be considered for an interview. A week or two later, I received call to set up a phone screen. The phone screen was pretty standard- "Why are leaving your current job?" "Why lilly?" "Tell me about a time when..." After the phone screen, it was about a week before the face-to-face interview. The face-to-face interview was also pretty standard in terms of sales interview questions. I interviewed with two district managers and a specialty rep. A week after the face-to-face interview, I received a call from the recruiter saying they hired an internal candidate but wanted to keep in touch for future opportunities.

After speaking with a recruiter once, I was moved to an on-site interview that was panel style with 2 interviewers. The recruiter was extremely helpful and respectful throughout the entire process. The interviewers on the other hand seemed like they were on a power trip to be interviewing. They were extremely condescending and mentioned multiple times how my experince didn’t align. Had they not seen my resume until that point? What a waste of everyone’s time. Every answer I gave and even my intro about myself, they cut me off on. This was my second time interviewing with Eli Lilly. The first time in process, I had nothing but positive things to say about the interviewers. This time, I was happy I did not receive an offer as I would not have worked under such disrespectful people. Whats ironic is that they emphasized “respect for all people” as something they like about Eli Lilly, yet they had absolutely none.
