I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2011
Interview
It was through campus recruiting - it was well organized and well done. They did a dual interview using a S.T.A.R. format. They use a stock set of questions which they chose from during the interview. They care heavily around motivational fit, communication skills, technical ability, leadership potential and cultural fit.
