I applied online. I interviewed at Eli Lilly and Company (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiting company and had a first interviewed scheduled with the recruiting officer. It was supposed to be on Skype, but I couldn't find the recruiter online, so the interview was held over the phone instead. The second interview with the department head at the company at an airport terminal.

Question 1
There were very few direct questions. The interview format was conversational, which made it at times difficult to know what the recruiter was looking for. The interviewer was the one talking for most of the time.

Rigorous. HR screening, Panel interview with standard behavioral questions. Last step is a case presentation. Case is difficult, no magic-bullet answer, but lets the hiring team know how you think and approach problems.

Interview
Panel interview then case presentation. The case presentation is based on an actual drug, and a real challenge the business is facing WRT that drug. It's tricky because even internal folks wouldn't know exactly what the "right answer" is.
