What
I Do for Lilly
Currently, I consult with our Latin American
affiliates on their compensation programs.
This includes assisting with data, coordinating
the review process, and working with them
to gain approval for their programs. In
addition, I work on various other compensation
projects.
Career Path
I am part of a rotation program that provides
experience in and exposure to different
areas of Human Resources. I’ve recently
joined the compensation group for my third
rotation. Prior to that, I spent time in
our HR Direct department and U.S. Recruiting
and Staffing.
The Reason I Came
to Lilly
I was a HR intern at Lilly between my junior
and senior years of college and really enjoyed
my experience. While I was not sure what
exactly I wanted to do upon graduation,
what mattered to me was choosing a strong,
reputable company with opportunities for
growth and development and a good work environment.
Lilly fit that profile for me.
How Lilly Has Helped
Me Develop in My Career
By being a part of the rotation program,
I have had the opportunity to experience
different areas of HR and network with a
variety of people in the organization. In
addition to gaining technical knowledge,
I have enhanced my leadership, problem solving,
and communication skills.
Challenge or Struggles
My biggest challenge has been learning each
part of the organization quickly and knowing
whom to contact within each area.
How I Would Describe My Transition from
Campus to Lilly
Since I had had an internship here, the
transition was fairly easy. I knew a lot
of people in Indy and at Lilly and knew
what it was like here. I had a lot of contact
with my recruiter and future manager before
I came. Still, it’s very different
from college life. I had to get used to
a different schedule and a different type
of work.
Things About Indianapolis
I Didn't Know
Before I moved here, I knew Indy only for
the malls and shopping, but when I found
a place to live on the canal, I discovered
all of the activities and events that happen
downtown. |
