Has anyone who interviewed in Atlanta yesterday or Thursday gotten a call or email yet? I have not heard anything. Not sure if they will wait until Monday to start notifying folks or if they will notify on Saturday. Any insight?
 


















To OP, Sorry if you didn't get the job, this job market is a tough one. Lilly can be a great place to work. But you can be happy to know that Lilly can also be an awful place. It mainly has to do with the manager, Lilly has no shortage of awful managers. At Lilly you have a 1 in 5 shot of getting a good manager. Pretty sad that the managers couldn't even interview candidates for there own open territories.
 






























This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta , Georgia , has ever lived in Atlanta , has ever visited Atlanta , ever plans to visit Atlanta , knows anyone who already lives in Atlanta , or knows anyone who has ever heard of Atlanta .

Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets. The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turnaround and start over when you reach Greenville , South Carolina .

All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." except that in Cobb County , where all directions begin with, "Go to the Big Chicken."

Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with:
Peachtree Circle
Peachtree Place
Peachtree Lane
Peachtree Road
Peachtree Parkway
Peachtree Run
Peachtree Terrace
Peachtree Avenue
Peachtree Commons
Peachtree Battle
Peachtree Corners
New Peachtree
Old Peachtree
West Peachtree
Peachtree-Dunwoody
Peachtree-Chamblee
Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
(there are over 180 streets with Peachtree in the name in metro Atlanta

Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you ask anyone for directions, they will always send you down Peachtree.

Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. Coke's all they drink there so don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola. Even if you want something other than a Coca-Cola, it's still called Coke.

The gates at Atlanta 's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are about 32 miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.
The 8 a.m. rush hour is from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
The 5 p.m. rush hour is from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 pm. (Don ’ t forget the lunch time rush hour!)

Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2 a.m. Saturday.

Only a native can pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue , so do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is " pawntz duh LEE-awn."

And yes, they have a street named simply, "Boulevard."

The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules. If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a week. Overnight, all grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.

I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph but you have to maintain 80 mph just to keep from getting run over and is known to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."

Don't believe the directional markers on highways: I-285 is marked "East" and "West" but you may be going North or South. The locals identify the direction by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop."

If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.

Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta . Just go to one of the interstates and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.

The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger, unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.

Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia .

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia , plus a couple no one has seen before.

If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites. If you notice a vine trying to wrap itself around your leg, you have about 20 seconds to escape, before you are completely captured and covered with Kudzu.

It's not a shopping cart, it's a buggy.
"Fixinto" is one word (I'm fixinto go to the store) - also can be pronounced "Fixinta".

Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're 2 years old.

"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
"How's Momma-nem" means: "How's Mother and all of the other children and other members of the family doing?"

There are 98,000 men named “Bubba” in Georgia .
 






Being completely transparent...How classy of Lilly. Send candidates a pre-interview packet with an expense reporting sheet. Fly people away, take 12 hours of their day. Change what you told them about expenses when they arrive, give them a card for $35 for food, parking & mileage. I wouldn't expect any less from We Lie Lilly. What's the matter leadership team, managers not bright enough to use EERS? Lilly is run by a pack of monkey's fornicating with proverbial footballs.
 












I interviewed on Friday and thought the process was seamless! I loved it....and I got an email with the subject line "new hire consumer authorization". Hoping for an offer.
 
























I interviewed in dallas yesterday at 4:45pm and haven't gotten an e-mail... does that mean i'm out? HR said you would hear by the end of the weekend- but everyone else seems like they got it within hours of their interview.... fml.

I interviewed with Kelley Wright in Atl 2-3 weeks ago. She said this would move fast - start date to be 14Feb2011. She asked me to copy my bragbook and send to her. She gave me her bus card. She said to enter the xpenses on the expense report. She also said she would like me to "phone screen" with her dm side kick who resides in Fl. That did occur a few days later. When I returned home from the f to f interview, I sent Kelley an email asking if she would like me to send the brag book to another address besides corp in Indy. When she gave me her bus card I never checked what address(s) might be on the card. Never received a response as to what address to send the brag book however did receive a call from the firm in Findley OH that screens and processes expense reports telling me that the costs incurred to copy my brag book were non-reimburseable. She also, along the way left me a voicemail asking for 2 names/numbers to call and leave on her voicemail. Of course I did that. ( I knew I should not have given her Chuck Manson's number...just kidding. The two references were a lifelong friend graduate of the USMA and a friend I started with in the industry and now a DM in the industry. Did I mention I was a President's Club winner twice at BI and with 15 yrs experience in pharma. And yes they did the background check. I know there is nothing there to hang a twig on. Do you think I've heard anything else from Lilly??? The wedgie feels pretty good!!!
