Eli Lilly Senior Data Analyst Interview Experience (CTC – ₹22 LPA)


One of my friends recently appeared for Eli Lilly’s Senior Data Analyst role — and the interview process was a perfect blend of data engineering, analytics, and domain-focused problem-solving.
Here’s how the rounds unfolded




 

Round 1: SQL (Technical Assessment)



Eli Lilly focuses heavily on complex joins, subqueries, and analytics on healthcare datasets.



Some questions included:



1. Find patients who were prescribed Drug A and Drug B within the same 30-day period.

 2. Calculate month-over-month change in drug sales per region using window functions.

3. Identify duplicate patient records and methods to clean them efficiently.

4. Write a query to find the average time gap between diagnosis and first treatment per patient.





 Round 2: Python + Data Cleaning Case



1. Given a messy CSV with nulls, outliers, and inconsistent date formats — clean and standardize it using pandas.

2. Derive meaningful KPIs such as Average Prescription per Doctor and Total Active Patients.

3. How would you automate data validation in a production pipeline?





 Round 3: Tableau + Storytelling




1. Create a visualization for prescription patterns across age groups and regions.

2. Build a dashboard showing treatment adherence rates and highlight insights for leadership.

3. How do you ensure clinical data confidentiality while visualizing trends?





 Round 4: Business Case + Domain Understanding



1. The sales team reports a drop in insulin drug revenue. How will you identify the cause?

2. What KPIs would you define for patient retention programs?

3. How would you measure the success of a new drug launch campaign?





 

Round 5: Managerial Round



1. How do you balance data accuracy and reporting speed under tight deadlines?

2. Describe a time when your data recommendation was rejected — what did you learn?

3. How do you collaborate with medical and non-technical stakeholders?




Pro Tip:



Eli Lilly focuses on data integrity, reproducibility, and domain-driven insights.

If you can combine technical expertise with healthcare understanding, you’ll stand out.
