Pros

Good pay & benefits although they have a system in place that offers a lot in the beginning and then slowly chips away at your possibilities as time goes on.

Cons

A lot of good ole boy partnerships free to be biased at will. HR philosophy of don't complain or we'll find a way to get rid of you. Higher level bigots & racists can get away with murder. They promote a lot of respect for people on paper, real life is a different story. In 30 plus years of service only saw benefits slowly get chipped away and changed for the worst.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation was pretty decent.

Cons

Worse company I’ve ever worked for. Very unfair treatment. Doesn’t care about employees health and well being. My manager lacked leadership skills and often sided with those who’ve been on the team for years. Diversity and inclusion was a myth. My team made me feel very uncomfortable. My manager never had my back. I would discourage anyone from joining Eli Lilly.
