Pros

good benefits and a sense of job security

Cons

Lilly claims to hire the "best and brightest" - and having worked at Lilly for 2 years and having seen many folks come and go I would agree with that statement - however, once you there, Lilly puts the brightest and most experienced talent in a "box" - innovation and challenging the status quo is an absolute "no no" in this culture - unless you are part of the "good old boys club" you won't have a career - this was the worst employer I ever worked for in my 25 years in any professional setting. The absolute worst corporate culture there is - if you want a save job where you can put your brain on cruise control Eli Lilly is the company you want to work for.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, prestige, lots of time off, beautiful campus and workplace amenities

Cons

A large chunk of the workforce needs to retire. Management is from the old guard and can be stuck in their ways. I've never worked somewhere so frustrating in my life. I felt undervalued here every day.
