Interviewed Nov 2011 in Tuscaloosa, AL (took 5+ weeks)
The interviewing process with Lilly was very intense. I received an email to schedule a phone interview. This interview was with a recruiter from a 3rd party who knew very little about the company. I asked questions that the interviewer was not prepared to answer; however, the interview (on my behalf) went well, and I was contacted, once again via email, to schedule a face to face interview. I interviewed with two managers on November 30th, 2011 and was told that I would hear back either way in 7 to 10 days. Well after the alleged 7-10days, the HR called me and scheduled a breakfast with me at a local panera bread for late December. We met, chatted, just casual conversation. I was asked a few more questions about how I felt about the position, was it still a good fit for me, and etc. I was told that I would hear information at the beginning of the New Year...the deadline was pushed back to late Feb so I am STILL waiting. BUT...I guess good things come to those who wait.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
A Lilly representative came to our campus for recruiting. I went to her presentation and expressed my strong interest in the Lilly position. She said it was impressive for someone to come to a 8am meeting on a Friday morning. I think she was impressed with my passion. So she took my resume to the hiring manager. I got a call a few weeks later from him for a phone interview. Then he told me he would like to invite me for an on-site interview, which consisted of group interviews and a presentation. About two months later I got the offer.
All the Lilly people I met during the interview were very polite and professional except one woman who complained non-stop about the company. Everyone read the questions from the script, such as how to deal with conflict and how to deal with a disagreement with your boss. They also asked questions on your resume.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Interviews are conducted first with a 30 minute screening phone interview. It may take several weeks before you hear if you will get a live interview. If you hear nothing, you didn't make it to the live interview. Live interview consists of a panel of three. If they like you, you'll get a field day with a representative. That is part of the interview as well, so don't let your guard down. If they still like what they see, you'll get a job offer.
Negotiation Details
They don't negotiate as far as I can tell. They use an algorithm based on education and experience.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
I initially had an interview at one of the college recruitment visits and was then offered a site interview, 1 on 1, but with about 6 different people. The Interview went well and was very well organized. Each person seemed to focus on something different, mainly behavioral questions, but with a few technical questions. Even though the job was outside my area of expertise, the technical questions were not too difficult - just difficult enough to demonstrate that I could think on my feet.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4 weeks)
The phone interview was very impersonal and quick. The face to face was with two gentlemen who were only concerned with my college transcripts, and I graduated college in 2007. I feel that they could have put more emphasis on my previous work experience. Not a great experience overall.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 months)
The on line personality test was the first part. Next a phone interview with a third party. Then a panel interview with three district managers. Everyone was very professional and courteous. Their questions were reasonable and I felt very at ease. The overall positive culture of the company was evident during the interview process.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I applied via the company's website and was contacted by an internal recruiter. I passed the personality and skills assessment and was invited to a group/panel interview in Dallas, TX. The company booked my flight and gave me a per diem for my travel day. The experience was enriching and even though an offer was extended, I valued the process.
