- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Tons of amazing benefits, lots of opportunities for career development
Cons
Can get very busy (10-12 hour days)
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
+ Great pay and solid benefits + Generally, nice co-workers + Pleasant office environment + Plenty of opportunities for advancement in pay, title, job responsibilities + Global company, so some opportunities exist for high performers to take on international assignments, and almost all employees will interact with colleagues based in affiliates
Cons
+ Poor leadership in many areas. Promoted by "who you know," not by how great a leader you are. + Many leaders willing to throw their own people under the bus to save their own reputation. + Underperforming managers will never be demoted/let go, but the high-performers working under them frequently burn out, leave, or lose motivation. + International assignments are oftentimes reserved for those in special "development" programs; regardless of how well you perform, your odds of getting one are significantly diminished if you aren't formally part of the program.

Pros
Great training, benefits, and work life balance
Cons
Upward movement is dependent on how innovative your sales directors are (or aren’t), and in the case of the later-good luck.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I love the company's values and how they take care of the employees
Cons
Depending on the location, you have to travel a lot, but it is something we all know once we start.
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
The culture. For the most part you work with people who are serious about their work. Who want to deliver the best. I feel respected by my coworkers and I do not have anything much to complain about. People are very professional.
Cons
Lots of work just like everywhere else. You surely won’t get bored.

Pros
People, innovation, work life balance
Cons
There are no cons I can think of
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-great vacation benefits -great team culture -
Cons
-low salaries -hard to get promoted
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Many opportunities for growth, as well as lateral movement.
Cons
As a closely regulated industry, a heavy burden of training.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
I had the opportunity to work for Lilly, first as an intern, and then as a full time employee for a little over 3 years. I had to leave the company to relocate due to personal reason. I am in my second job since I left and none of the companies I have worked for cared about their employees the way Lilly does. Lilly goes the extra mile to develop its people and make them feel appreciated, especially young professionals. I have been told that Lilly gave me an unrealistic expectation for what a job should be like. I disagree, I believe that Lilly should be a role model to follow for any company that understands that employees are their more important asset. A big shoutout to Lilly's HR department for the great work they do.
Cons
I wish they had a bigger diversity of location within the United States. Currently, most of the employment opportunities are in Indianapolis. Though it is getting better; I saw the recently opened a site in NC.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
This company is Well organized
Cons
Far from headquarters when you are in sales
