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.
