Pay is the same. Interviews are the same (if it's a consulting role, as we have research, knowledge, internal, and product/solutions roles too). Hours are not always better than other projects, but they can be. Reasonable is hard to say - many people would consider our hours unreasonable regardless of the type of project.

Similar to the other comments, we often don't hire directly into the expert track at the lower levels. However you can specialize soon after joining as a generalist.

Are you interviewing for an expert consultant or People & org knowledge team role? Other roles will not come with a dedicated People & org focus.

That is a very broad question. IMO I usually don’t see hires for P&O specifically until the manager level, about 7-10 YOE for lateral hires (slightly less for tech). They normally expect you to be broader/more open at the levels below manager

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently.

Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.
