I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through my University Career Services, and was interviewed on campus for about 30 minutes in a standard interview. I was then invited to a 2 day site visit for more interviews. The first night we went to dinner with several managers and directors, and they were very personable. The next day consisted of a site tour, seven 1 on 1 interviews with directors or managers, and a lunch with other new hires. Overall the process was quite stressful, especially because they seemed unprepared and none of the managers interviewing me seemed to be on the same page. It was also unclear what positions they were actually interviewing for, and the logistics during the day weren't very smooth. I was impressed by the company, but by no means got the "small company feel" they constantly talked about.
Quick phone interview asking general questions, followed by technical interview and a 3rd STAR format interview face to face. Long process, often long wait times between interviews and again before an offer.
waited 2 weeks for the hiring manager screen, scheduled the call and we talked about my resume. Waited another two weeks and then got an email to schedule the next steps with the team,
I’ve had four interviews with Eli Lilly over the past four months for different positions at their Boston location. Each time, I advanced all the way to the panel interview stage, only to be rejected without meaningful feedback. It’s frustrating and disheartening, I’m unsure why I was shortlisted multiple times if I wasn’t a strong fit. It feels like they’re not genuinely trying to hire, which wastes candidates' time and energy.

Question 1
Technical question and standard question. Not any surprising question that you may not expect.
