Eli Lilly is a 150-year-old Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company best known today for transforming the obesity and diabetes treatment landscape through its GLP-1 medicines Mounjaro, Zepbound, and the new oral Foundayo (orforglipron), alongside the Alzheimer's therapy Kisunla. Lilly's market cap grew from roughly $70 billion to over $700 billion during CEO David Ricks's tenure since 2017, making it the most valuable pharma company in history. Behavioral interviews at Lilly are structured almost entirely around the STAR method and are mapped to its three core values—Integrity, Excellence, and Respect for People—so candidates need crisp, value-aligned stories that show patient focus, learning agility, and cross-functional collaboration.
