i have a first-round call in three weeks for a Senior Financial Analyst role on their commercial finance team and the Glassdoor data is mostly 2022-2023, which feels useless right now given how much the company has changed.
if anyone has gone through Lilly's process in the last 6-8 months, i'd love to hear: how many rounds total whether there was a modeling or case component for finance timeline from first screen to offer anything that surprised you
any function is useful, not just finance. trying to triangulate what the overall hiring experience is like at the company right now.

see my post in this channel. digital PM loop, 4 rounds over 6 weeks. no modeling for me but that's probably function-specific. panel was structured and behavioral-heavy. overall process was organized, a little slow.

i did a data science loop for their digital health team about 4 months ago. 3 rounds: recruiter screen, technical (SQL + a python problem, nothing wild), then a panel. total timeline was about 5 weeks. they did not give me a case study but i heard the PM track does. didn't get the offer but the feedback was specific which i appreciated.

this is helpful, thank you. 5 weeks is manageable. did the technical feel like it was testing pharma domain knowledge or just generic data skills?

generic data skills. the SQL problem could have been any industry. one behavioral question about working with medical/regulatory stakeholders but it wasn't a gotcha, just context-gathering.

friend of mine did a manufacturing ops role in Indianapolis about 3 months ago. 3 rounds, offer in 4 weeks total. he said the panel was very values/culture focused. he kept hearing words like 'integrity' and 'patient focus' and he started mirroring that language and it seemed to work.
