Applied for a position on the company website, was immediately asked to complete a personality test. Upon completion, I was contacted within a week to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was hard, it is an outside company asking the questions. It is behavioral based so use STAR answers. Know what a Pharma rep does on a daily basis and why you want Lilly, also be ready with answers to past situations in your past work experience. The person on the phone will not give you any feedback, they type your answers, very robotic...not an pleasant experience. None the less you will know within a few hours if you made it on to the next step. They told me two weeks, I heard back within 3 hours. They ask for transcripts and for you to fill out an official app. Within a few days of faxing the app in I was scheduled for an interview in LA. I applied for a position in Denver. They flew me out and paid for everything. The interview in LA was awesome, it consisted of a panel of 2 higher mangers in the company. They worked through my resume with me, why I wanted pharma, why Lilly, what I knew about the products Lilly sold, and questions I had for them. I thought it went well and was surprised when I heard back I was not selected. A lot of competition for these roles, but it was a positive and efficient process. I heard back within a week of the outcome, do your homework for the interviews, know what your applying for...Although I do not know what else would have been needed to move on, good experience regardless.
