Culture at Eli Lilly




















Only millennials get hired. Only older folks get fired. Only women and African Americans get promoted. Sell SEll SELL! More more more! Conference calls every week. No matter how well you're doing, it's never good enough. Can't wait to get out.

If you are a white straight male, you will never advance and will only be hired if you are a millennial and look or talk gay or are female. If this is not you, you don’t have a chance.

Lilly by far is the worst in the pharma industry! 21-31 year olds are valued more than those with experience or are 40+ years! If you are a woman over 40, forget about applying here!

Shouldn't they be in trouble for the blatant age discrimination. Their application process stopped me right in the middle when stupid rookie questions had to be answered. I mean like - questions like you are just graduating college and i was tempted to give some of my back in the day sorority stories as an example - i just got a little mad that i wasted 10 min applying to get to that part. I stopped and pooped a bottle instead.
 






sadly all of the posts here have an element of truth. Lilly is actively looking to cut expenses and what is the best way to do that? Get rid
Of higher salaries in favor of less expensive options. This is still pharma people. Data rules the day, but having a few young and attractive sales people to regurgitate the data has never hurt anyone. The drugs are old and the new drugs are not blockbusters. They just want to maintain the stock price. Other companies pay more, with the same bull shit attached. I don’t mind diversity but they hire idiots mostly and give them false confidence. They will leave eventually. I am almost out, grass isn’t greener but this side of the field is rocks and pig shit.

100%

And dont forget that you can works your ass off, be a top performer, be on every project imaginable and you still get paid the exact same amount as the rep in your district that doesn’t work, can’t sell, doesn’t participate in any project or district call for that matter and averages 7 calls a day lol.

I’m AMAZED at how this company somehow gets their reps to get exited about trying to sell their drugs. The bonus is terribly low, it’s capped at 120% (meaning you only make like an extra $700 max) and your commission check all depends on how you other 10-15 district territories perform.
 


I’m not sure what makes the cul
