Getting Hired Here


  • “I highly rate our firm's interview and callback process, which is transparent, respectable and fair. The ideal candidate should have a solid education background from top universities, with some experience in both science and business. He or she should have great interpersonal skills, resilient to difficulties, and enjoy challenges.”
  • “I think the selection process is excellent for graduate recruitment. Candidates need to be team players, genuine, sharp, knowledgeable, proactive, and driven. Rounds include: CV, cover letter, pre-recorded video presentation, HR phone call, Consultant/Manager interview, and finally interviews with the Directors and a Q&A with the full local office team.”
  • “Strong involvement of the junior team in the recruitment process - we are looking for smart, driven individuals, passionate about the LS industry that fit our culture and team.”
  • “We are constantly seeking a broad spectrum of candidates, but the best fit is someone who has an open mind, can think/see different perspectives, challenges the status quo and has a can-do attitude. Not how did we do it before but what can we do / how could we do it.”
  • “We have 3 rounds usually, which includes both a case study & a presentation as well as a competency/personality-based interview. I think we are looking for consultants from big firms which want to specialize into life sciences.”
