Eli Lilly and Company

Information & Digital Solutions Intern

June - August 2021 • Indianapolis, IN

What I liked

We were assigned projects that impacted the organization's current structures and goals. It was really amazing to work on a meaningful project and put yourself in the chain of the organization and see your work making an impact in people's lives. I found many friends and mentors in the company that play an important role in my life.

What I wish was different

Actually, nothing that I can think of.

Advice

This internship experience will really challenge the way you work and help you develop your communication, organization, planning, and time management skills (to name a few) as well as expose you to different career opportunities.

Information and Digital Solutions Intern

May - August 2020 • Indianapolis, IN

What I liked

I loved everything about my internship. I worked on a meaningful, challenging project that directly impacted the company and helped me to grow both technically and professionally. The networking aspect of the internship was also one of the best parts. I had over 100 individual conversations with people across the company allowing me to get a really strong idea about company culture and everyday work. Most importantly, Eli Lilly showed its value of integrity in honoring the internships (wage and length) even with the difficulties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

What I wish was different

The internship ended up being virtual due to circumstances so that was the only thing I would have changed if I could.

Advice

If you want to work for Lilly, I recommend doing thorough research. Pharmaceuticals is a particular industry with its own unique array of challenges that you should familiarize yourself with before applying. That being said, within those challenges are huge opportunity for problem solving, so don't let that turn you away. I would also advise you to understand the Lilly culture and values because it is a part of all the work happening at there socially, professionally, and tactically. If you find yourself in alignment with those values, express that to them and give examples of ways that you demonstrate them in your personal and academic life.
