Vault Verdict

As a boutique-sized shop with a well-carved niche, DeciBio represents an opportunity for a select few who are passionate about life sciences to truly make their mark on a firm that is clearly going places at the moment.

While formal training is not the firm’s forte (a common factor at smaller shops), there are plenty of on-the-job and mentor-driven opportunities to learn and grow. Case in point: the firm’s global network of offices provides an opportunity to work internationally—and with globally-renowned experts—from the earliest stages of a career with DeciBio. Those kinds of opportunities often take years to emerge, if at all, at a larger firm.

On a day-to-day basis, the culture is described as tight-knit and collegial, with the ability for c...

Employee Reviews


  • “Although I don’t have much corporate experience, I believe DeciBio is a gem in that the firm has proven itself to be competitive in the healthcare consulting space while also fostering a genuine, people-centered culture that is a rarity in business, but really in any communal space. The people you surround yourself with make all the difference, and having such a positive environment day in and out is invaluable, especially against the landscape of modern working life.”

  • “Building confidence and expertise in both precision medicine and business strategy while connecting with interesting people and exploring LA.”

  • “DeciBio is a fantastic place to work, and I believe anybody who works here is lucky. However, you have to be someone who is excited to learn and who isn't afraid to get thrown into the deep end within your first couple weeks of starting. Those who are the most successful at DeciBio learn how to roll with the punches from early on and are only excited to wake up and do it all again.”

  • “Our firm has developed and excelled at a niche market segment/industry and has the higher-up expertise and guidance to meet our clients’ needs.”

  • “There is still a bit of startup culture that gives opportunities to speak to partners and leadership and also take initiative on any personal projects. This allows for transparency and confidence in the firm's mission, especially as the firm looks for employees that are dedicated to life sciences and our mission.”

Getting Hired Here


  • “DeciBio is seeking hard-working, creative individuals who are passionate about science and precision medicine but are also passionate about other topics and pursuits. During recruiting, we want to see candidates' personalities really shine through!”

  • “Interview process is more focused on how you think rather than getting the right answer. I believe one of DeciBio’s biggest strengths is its hiring process. Everyone was very smart, organized, and efficient, but also a nice person. I believe the firm is seeking mentally agile, intelligent individuals with personalities that shine in / out of work and who cultivate balanced lifestyles.”

  • “Interview involves 1-2 phone interviews (a screen and then a more formal phone interview) followed by a final round presentation-style interview with additional 1-on-1s meetings with the Partners and Senior Team. The ideal candidate: 1) is proactive and self motivated; 2) is able to quickly learn new information and distill the most important insights from it; 3) is hardworking / gritty; 4) has a high standard for success.”

  • “Someone who is scrappy and high in EQ. Interview process can be somewhat lengthy but it's what makes the firm what it is.”

  • “We have a hiring committee and score candidates with the goal of giving an answer within a week or two. The ideal candidate is poised, thoughtful, knowledgeable, passionate, and matches the company energy.”
