Interview Preparation Tips

Topics to prepare for Eli Lilly and Company Statistical Programming Intern interview:
  • Inferential Statistics
  • Descriptive Statistics
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I wasn't really from pure statistics background, and my resume didn't really portray statistics. So not much question was asked for my project or resume.
However, for my peers from statistics background, a lot of questions revolved around that. Also, the interview goes deeper into statistics, the fundamentals and interpretations of small small things. Need to be thorough with descriptive as well as inferential statistic concepts.

I applied via Recruitment Consulltant and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Group Discussion 

GD was with 2 team members and a director level person. Technical questions were asked by both team members which were around project management and fairly easy. Director level person, however, was more of a rude personality manager whose choice of interviewing involved asking a question and then interrupting the answer saying you should use only a single word. Question was "tell me about a time you had to deal with opposing ideas in a group setting". Considering the fact that I both worked and conducted sprints, this was right up my alley. I obviously went in for explaining the event using the STAR method (as the question itself was tell me about a time?) but she was adamant about a word. So i said what word i thought best and proceeded to explain event and then it was another question and another argument. 0 interest in hearing out my actual answer to that question. As this company is similar to my previous organization, I thought i will be patient during interview but she was only interested in arguing throughout. No semblance of interviewing, just plain brash rudeness and tyrant like behavior. 0/10 for interview, do not interview with this team or work under/for this person clearly. Employers need to get these egotistical directors in line who do not even understand how to conduct an interview or even have basic sense when talking with a stranger
