Eli Lilly and Company

Science has been our calling from the beginning. Colonel Eli Lilly founded the company in 1876 and charged employees to “take what you find here and make it better and better.” More than 147 years later, we remain committed to his vision through every aspect of our business and the people we serve, starting with discovering the best treatments for those who take our medicines and extending to health care professionals, employees and the communities in which we live. Moreover, you can also count on the team at Lilly to be incredibly civic-minded, supporting our communities through philanthropy, volunteerism, and a creative and innovative can-do spirit.

When you’re on a mission to do what’s never been done before, you seek people willing to challenge the status quo of medicine. Those willing to relentlessly pursue what’s next, all in the name of health above all. #WeAreLilly
