I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company in May 2010
Interview
The process was very fast but the information from HR and the Hiring Manager was completely out of sync. I found out that I was added to the list of face to face interviews at the very last minute. I scrambled around to make all of thier "mandatory deadlines" for information submission. I basically was given the run around then I didn't hear from anyone for two weeks after I was told by the hiring manager that I would hear from him personally within a week and he made a big effort to let me know what area code would be calling and so forth and so on. Then after two weeks, went thru a series of more interiviews via phone and panel. Every interview was the same as the first. It was as if no one had ever read my resume or had spoken to me before. I was eventually offered the position.

Interview
This was one of the hardest interview processes I have ever gone through. There are many rounds to the interview, and they use the “STAR” process (you can look this up). If you are interviewing for this company, it’s imperative to study this process so you know how to answer questions correctly. I made it through to the final round of interviews (it was between myself and one other person). In the end, they went with someone more familiar with the territory.

They fly you out and cover your travel expenses and stay through reimbursement. There’s generally two managers playing good cop bad cop. Overall a good interview process and very standard scenarios questions.
