Eli Lilly and Company Software Engineer interview experience

The focus was on responding in a calm, genuine way and using the STAR format to answer questions with clear examples.

I leaned into giving a lot of detail in my stories, and that approach seemed to fit what they wanted. There was also an expectation that I’d ask a few questions on my side, and I remember doing that as the conversation wrapped up. The overall vibe stayed easy throughout, and I came away feeling like it was a comfortable evaluation of communication and experience.
