Yes, I’ve been reading through the threads. Is the culture really worse than other companies? Specifically asking about your division representing Zepbound and Mounjaro.
It depends a lot on the manager you work for and how good they are at shielding the team. General demand and expectations from the company are high. Work is pretty intense with lots of priorities to juggle all the time and a lot more run around with AI driven targeting and metrics. Senior leadership thinks it’s ok if people have to work overtime. Customers also have a lot of questions and constantly need help, a lot more than any other product I’ve ever sold. The company wants you to push these products for everyone and their mother and it’s a highly competitive environment. Oh, and you’ll also be expected to do plenty of extra non-sales initiatives if you want to get merit increases or promote. Sometimes those can be a nice distraction from the sales grind but you still have to meet all your metrics first. You have to be agile and able to pivot quickly and often here, it can be pretty tiring. Benefits are pretty good, but they work you to exhaustion before those two much needed shutdowns.Yes, I’ve been reading through the threads. Is the culture really worse than other companies?

So I’d say, make sure to interview your manager and ask a lot of smart questions.
There’s a whole lot of bullshit preached here~Yes tons of extra work projects that are worthless, but necessary to get merit raises. They pretend these projects are fabulous and helpful, however just takes us away from customers. We work way more than I have in any other pharma company and we make less. Restructuring happens every year, they will fire and re-hire based on. Nothing but zip code. Truly no consideration for employees even though it’s what they preach.
Culture is horrific at Lilly. Agree with the previous post…only take a job here if you positively are out of options. They run you ragged here. It’s by far the worst pharma job I’ve experienced in 16 years. I’ve been here a little more than two and cannot wait to get out of this soul wrenching hell hole.Yes, I’ve been reading through the threads. Is the culture really worse than other companies?
