Pros

I worked at Lilly for several years but recently decided that I needed to inform others of the inner workings of how abusive and harrassing behavior is swept under the rug to keep projects on track.

Cons

I was a direct witness to a campaign of retaliation and harrassment that was ignored by senior management. A manager was extremely hostile to their staff members and eventually received an HR complaint. These complaints are confidential - however this manager shared the complaint with their staff in an effort to identify the individual that submitted it. Their staff then began to "investigate" the matter and started harrassing likely suspects. This culmulated in an off-campus encounter where a Jewish employee was targeted with anti-semetic language and had a drink poured on them - with a threat of "we know what you did and we're watching you." This event was widely known to management, but no action was taking because the manager was in a critical project role.

Pros

The people are nice and strong portfolio in CMH.

Cons

CMH is very over worked and micromanaged. The culture is awful. Your manager will almost certainly work you to the bone, smile in your face, and offer no support. Managers love going into "strategy" meetings and thinking up new things to implement to "drive" the business. Most of it is meaningless and they push it to lower title team members get it done. They don't care how it gets done or whats bothering you. Just give them their precious extra metrics bonus so they can show their boss something is being done. Idiots. The product is selling itself, they aren't doing anything meaningful.
