I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company in Apr 2024
Interview
Was contacted by HR because they saw that my LinkedIn profile showed I was open to work. I had 30-45 min interviews with about 7 or so stakeholders, including the hiring manager and HR. They contacted me a week later to make an offer. The process was fairly streamlined and smooth, especially compared with some other big name pharma companies that I interviewed with around the same time. Many of the questions were in STAR format and geared toward ascertaining how I've reacted to situations in the past. I have to say that this HR department is probably the most interactive and responsive that I've dealt with in pharma, so hats off to them for their professionalism!

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with someone about how to handle a situation and how did you resolve the issue?
Considerei o processo longo em demasia, desorganizado (cancelamentos, mudanças inesperadas de última hora), muitas pessoas envolvidas (mais de 10). Tive que repetir a mesma informação a diversos profissionais diferentes e pouca comunicação durante o processo.

I applied online. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company
Interview
I didn't have the best impression from my interviews. I had an initial interview with the recruiter, and then a call with the hiring manager. The call with the recruiter left me with a strange feeling - the attitude was off and the recruiter's tone was not quite professional. It felt like she was treating me like a child or like someone that doesn't have industry experience. The video interview with the hiring manager went a bit better, but there were certain times when it seemed like he did not take my responses seriously. I was getting the feeling that they already selected someone for this role and were just wasting my time.
