Great people
Automation Engineer (Former Employee) - Kinsale, Ireland - 13 June 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThey consistently look to improve the system and not place the blame on the people. The opinion of people is actually taken into consideration.People are generally nice and supportive. The company has been open about being an ally, supporting BLM, diversity in the workplace, mental health, equal rights... all the good things, treating employees as humans first. This was my 1st experience of such an environment and I absolutely adored it. Overtime is paid for contractors and discouraged for staff.The site has a free access gym and a series of group classes.For the time I was there my work-life balance allowed for almost no life, but a lot of my colleagues would wrap up as soon as the clock hit the mark and with a 39 hours work-week that leaves a lot of time for life. When you are "promoted" it is essentially more responsibility and work for the same pay - as a contractor at least.
Pros
Cafeteria has amazingly small prices, There is the possibility to work from home and flexible hours, People are generally nice and supportive, Great culture
Cons
It is unlikely you'll get any raise

Poor culture and biased career prospects
Nanny (Current Employee) - IE - 16 April 2021
The culture at GBS is very conservative, condescending and biased against non Irish nationals. Areas where Lilly is far behind the competition are salary/benefits, where even some of the benefits they do offer only kick in after 6 months, offering a trust based empowering culture. Finally, a transparent and performance/merit based career progression process. Promotions are reserved mostly to Irish nationals. In the end, the house always wins.
Pros
Nothing that isn't a norm in any other company
Cons
Salary, benefits, career progression

Rewarding workplace
I only spent 9 months there on internship on 2015. Those 9 months were great. Nice people, rewarding work and manageable work life balance. If I still lived in cork I would apply for Eli Lilly again.

A warm, team working atmosphere
Summer Intern (Former Employee) - Kinsale, County Cork - 21 March 2019
I really enjoyed my internship in Lilly, Kinsale. As a summer student, my team leader and those working within the team could not have been more helpful. Any tasks that were provided, I was assured that if the work load was too much, there was always somebody to share it with if needed. The company hold mental and physical health and general safety in high regard and there are different campaigns every quarter, one of which I had the pleasure of being involved in.
Overall, it is a fantastic place to work, with wonderful employees.

a company where they care about employees
Purchase to Pay (Former Employee) - Cork, Ireland - 4 January 2019

I gain great experience in an international environment, I left the job for personal circumstances but I would have loved to continue working in such a great environment.
Pros

Cons

Productive and changable
Commissioning Planner (Former Employee) - Kinsale, County Cork - 11 May 2018
The day started at 7:00 am until 6:00 pm, after a long 1 hr 20 min commute and I would focus on closing out my scope of work, which took main priority. However, I would be asked to help out with other areas of work, to achieve schedule dead lines for others. This gave me a better understanding of other disciplines.
The management structure was well taught out and the company procedures well put together.
The team was helpful and had the occasional jokes, everyone got on with their work load as best as possible.
The hardest part of the day was the afternoon around 4 pm. Just had to refocus and keep mindful until 6:00 pm.
The most enjoyable part of the day was going home. Long hours and intense workload, you needed a break. Oh! Pay day was nice too :-)
Pros
free Turkey at Christmas
Cons
long hours

False ethics, pseudo care about people
CMS Analyst (Former Employee) - Cork - 29 March 2018
Lack of transparency in transferring KB. Lazy and fool micromanagement. Company is populating kind of "human care" while never minding about employees
Fake culture, values and false ethics.
Employees are boring and love create rumours, intrigues, fights and scandals.
Workload has a significant seasonal fluctuation, but employees do not stops complain on "heavy job" and "busiest time".
Worst management have to expect from team leaders.
I do not recommend waist time with this employer.
Pros
new skills in complains
Cons
all the rest

Great company and culture
Customer Meeting Services Specialist (Former Employee) - Cork - 8 January 2018
I have worked in Eli Lilly more than 3 years. The company has great business culture. It is a very serious place with the dress code. You usually work 7 hours a day which is an advantage.

Great Place to Work
P2P Specialist - Disbursements (Current Employee) - Cork - 3 March 2017
Lilly is a great place to work especially if you are only starting out in the financial services sector. The people are very nice and the work life balance is excellent. Management are easily approachable and really spend time making sure the job your doing is the right fit firstly and then develop you accordingly. My only criticism is that progression within the company is hard to achieve in certain departments.
