Scientist (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – December 1, 2012
Pros: nice place to get some experience.
Cons: wall street is the real boss here.
Was once a pretty good company.
However, lack of ethics has clearly shown over the years.
A lot of backstabbing.
Lies from supervision and management.
Don't trust them.

Sales Representative (Current Employee), Lufkin, TX – November 15, 2012
Pros: great relationships
Cons: no security
My typical day was making sales calls on Doctors office but talking to the staff was the most enjoyable part of my job. I loved getting to know everyone and the Doctor too. After awhile you become friends and build relationships that last.
I retired from Lilly in 2009 after 33 1/2 rewarding years! Beginning as a pharmaceutical representative 4 days after graduating from college was a challenging and daunting task, but Lilly's Sales Training Dept. prepared me for every experience I was to encounter over my career. I have nothing but high praise and the utmost respect for this fine institution!
Great company which brings life changing medicines to patients with a high degree of integrity.
Senior Sales Representative (Former Employee), Chapel Hill, NC – November 5, 2012
Pros: automony, ability to succeed
Cons: managed care
Provided educational information and product samples to physicans. I spent much of my time learning about the various facets of mental illness and finding ways to convey that information to phyisicians. I had incredible co-workers who were willing to provide support when needed. All I can offer about management is that they can make your life wonderful – more... or terrible. The best part of my job was the feeling I got when I knew information I provided ended up improving a patients life. The biggest challenge was managed care. – less

New learning experience in a friendly supportive environment
eRepresentative (Former Employee), 11 – October 8, 2012
Pros: working independently, team bonding/company workshops
Cons: last minute assignments/changes, long hours
Our team worked closely together as it was a new team that was created to execute a new project. Each person in our team would have their own call schedule and work separately with their product manager but come together as a team at least one a week to discuss issues and provide feedback. I learned to work independently with very minimal supervision – more... but also learned how to work as a team player. It was difficult to arrange and consolidate everyones schedule every week to hold a meeting but taught me how to manage my time well and be more efficient with what was provided or available. It was great to receive feedbacks and encourage each other in our own projects because it helped each and every one of us improve our work, which also made the days at the office more enjoyable. – less

Pharma Project Management Specialist (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – September 20, 2012
Pros: great compensation, great benefits, great environment, family oriented
Cons: moving from a fixed duration employee to a permanent employee
I was able to learn a great deal about the Pharma industry which gave me a greater appreciation of the drug development process. Departments there believe in getting the job done through a team environment. My co-workers were always willing to step in when necessary so that we can all meet common goals. Management was very supportive and always wanted – more... you to be the "best of the best" through a continued learning environment. I enjoyed the flexibility and how Lilly paved the way for me to learn all that I did during my time there. The hardest part of the job was knowing that my time would soon come to an end due to the fix duration employee status because I loved what I did. – less
