Eli Lilly – “Excellent Company, but Limited Opportunity”

Pros

Excellent benefits, intellectual community, work/life balance, much opportunity for learning.

Cons

Limited opportunities for promotion and advancement. Corporate culture is one of mistrust and backstabbing, which is at high levels in current environment of uncertainty and downsizing.

Advice to Senior Management

Work to better align people in jobs according to their skills and abilities. Significant number of people are promoted to higher levels with fewer skills than co-workers. Going up the ladder should mean an employee has more to offer.
