The greatest corporate culture on earth

I love Lilly's corporate culture. A culture that places diversity first and foremost so that it trickles down through the ranks, fostering a community like bond among the workforce. We are Lilly, we are one. Haters not welcome.

Yes and let's not forget the diverse pipeline. So much promise. We're talking animal, we're talking human....
 




















That explains the flashing disco lights/balls and purple haze emanating from the wildness walkfeature around the campus

the blacklights after getting covered with fluorescent foam from those jets in the ceiling was my favorite, better than Burning Man ... then the skinny dipping following woot woot
 




















As for diversity, much can be said. If your in the field and want to attend the diversity forum in Indy, you can only attend if your territory is doing better then the national average. So much for diversity.
 












A culture SO AWESOME, this is what our "chemists" do when they aren't making PowerPoint extravaganzas. The good news, his stuttering is now cured...oh wait, no it's not.

‘Ninja’ chemist

AUGUST 8, 2016 LETTERS
After reading the Newscripts about chemists vying to appear on the TV show “American Ninja Warrior” (C&EN, June 20, page 40), I wanted to point out one more chemist who escaped the public eye because of some very unfortunate circumstances.

Eli Lilly & Co. research chemist Thierry Masquelin (aka “the French Dragon”) was also selected to compete on the show that filmed in Indianapolis (where he has worked and lived for more than 20 years, conveniently). Sadly, he had a terrible fall during training a few weeks before competing, breaking numerous bones and tearing all the soft tissue in his shoulder; this is likely why he was not brought to your attention when researching this article.

It would have been very entertaining to see him compete, as he is far bigger than most of the competitors I have ever seen on that show and quite a character! Maybe we will see him in next year’s competition after he heals all his injuries.
