      Pros

      Lilly is genuinely a great company to work for. The benefits, pay, culture and work are all outstanding. I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience in my three years so far.

      Cons

      If you hate the idea of working for a big company, it might not be for you. That being said, I've never had better bosses or felt more valued as an employee and a person than I have during my time at Lilly, big Pharma and all.

      Pros

      One of the last companies to provide a pension. They stand by their modo, Safety first and Quality always

      Cons

      The hiring system is broken. They replace too many lost positions internally, and it's a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

      Advice to Management

      Reward more, that's what the program is in place for.
