I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Hyderabad) in Jan 2026
Interview
Process is very bad and I cleared L1 round bit in L2 they rejected me as I am unable to answer the aws related questions. Being a QA it was not at all mentioned in my resume I need AWS skills. Still I answered few questions related to S3, glue and etc.
I really wanted to name the L2 AVP who took my interview but it's not ethical to say that.
Process was too bad and not job descriptions oriented
I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Windlesham, England)
Interview
Full day of interviews, including two synthetic and retrosynthesis interviews with four senior chemists, a presentation plus questions, and "soft skill" sections with several team members for lunch and coffee break.
