Eli Lilly and Company Reviews

Pros

Company Car, Company phone, Company Ipad

Cons

Micromanagers who are sometimes unrealistic

Pros

Excellent 401k matching at 6% dollar for dollar. Base bonus is below average but the company multiplier has been between 1.1 and 1.5 each year. Small pension starting at 5 year's of service. All in all great benefits. Excellent job security and low risk for employees.

Cons

Performance is not measured at all. Raises are weighted based on a bell curve across a team and amounts vary mostly based on where employees fall within the range. Perceived high performers may get 1% more but hardly significant to retain talent. Career development is non-existent. Extremely low accountability. Salary ranges trail the market (even heard some managers say its a good thing to see who's truly dedicated). Golden handcuff retention strategy.

Pros

Big Pharma, corporate heading strong

Cons

1. Management wants complete control and fishing for info form everyone 2. Thick politics, friend over technical expertise Too political correct and merely a show than focus on science 3. No free of speech at a department at LTC N 4. Boring and inflexibility on work 5. Back stabbing happen at all time 6. Lack of working integrity 7. It is INDIANA 8. Lots of M3 leverage “political correct” influence from higher up to grab and climb and never care about people below

Pros

There are so many fun and smart people that work here. Great place for development, they are constantly investing in people.

Cons

Bureaucracy - In big companies like it can take a lot of people before you can get to an answer and that’s definitely true here.

Pros

Great atmosphere, team members, supervisor and working scope.

Cons

location (Indianapolis) is not preferable.

Pros

Eli Lilly is an excellent employer with exceptional benefits and a top notch training program. They also have an excellent product pipeline.

Cons

The company did reorgs every few years which may be stressful. Most folks are taken care of though job postings across the company, and these are managed very professionally.

Pros

Stock is doing fabulously. They pay well for a reasonably priced city.

Cons

Highly political. Some leaders are horrible to their people, yet keep getting promoted. I would still be there if it wasn’t for my last manager, who drove at least 6 good people out of the company. Working for her was once described as like having “daily colonoscopies.”

Pros

Great people and team. Good flexibility

Cons

Location and many parts don’t have technical development

Pros

- great work environment - very helpful employees - great place to grow a career

Cons

- the marketing department is very competitive to get into

Pros

Lilly has fantastic benefits, and many talented, innovative individuals working on important lifesaving and life-improving products.

Cons

Brilliant people come into the company but are slotted into roles which do not fit their talents. Management training is inconsistent from team to team, and more than a few are unfamiliar with how to manage individuals more experienced or knowledgeable than themselves. Sadly, I have seen many talented people be discounted, get fed up and leave to work for companies willing to take the best and brightest regardless of their characteristics differing from the norm. Lilly, back up the talk with actions. Stop promoting for 'the right fit' when you mean 'my pal.' Train Management properly BEFORE they develop bad managerial habits. Many of the high performing employees of color I started with at Lilly have left. If things don't change this year, I'll be one of them.
