Overview
Introduction
An agile life sciences consultancy that is far into its growth stage, DeciBio offers employees the excitement and challenge of a startup environment merged with the deep content knowledge and ample, hands-on learning opportunities of a much older and larger consulting firm. The scrappy, entrepreneurial spirit of the firm bodes well for candidates who are self-directed, self-motivated, and intellectually curious. DeciBio is truly a “chart-your-own-path” boutique.

Vault Verdict
DeciBio has a highly impressive firm culture that fosters close-knit relationships and a true team ethos across its workforce. That’s partly due to a strong commitment to work-life balance—meaning employees are free to manage their lives and/or hang out after hours—as well as some unusual perks like renting out properties to work from in far-flung places.
All of which translates into a company culture that balances fun with a single-minded determination to deliver solutions related to precision medicine for an ever-growing roster of clients. While there are a handful of gripes related to compensation—not uncommon during a period of significant inflation—this is a firm that seems to offer an enjoyable, rewarding working experience.

Employee Reviews
- “A small, energized company of like-minded people focused on precision medicine strategy through a highly technical lens.”
- “DeciBio's firm culture is truly unique—this summer the company rented a house in London for the team to use and work remotely from! We are such a close-knit group and had the best time abroad together! You're really joining a family when you join DeciBio.”
- “Fantastic journey of personal and professional development alongside sharp, motivated and fun people!”
- “We're not just an industry observer, but a participant in the space. We are connected to a wide range of stakeholders across the precision medicine industry (e.g., end users, pharma, diagnostic, tools companies, investment firms [VC, PE]) and understand how all these stakeholders interact. This gives us a view/perspective that few others have. We've also made and continue to make investments in the space. We are committed to the mission to drive precision medicine forward.”
- “We are all first and foremost scientists. We understand both the business and technical needs that allow us to guide our clients to success.”
Getting Hired Here
- “A candidate must have a life science degree. Beyond this, they need grit, mental agility, and high EQ.”
- “Interview process is very competitive, less than 1% of offers given. 3-4 rounds of interviews including in person. Looking for someone with strong analytical rigor, communication skills, business intuition, and agility.”
- “Someone with passion for the industry. Attitude and willingness to learn is everything.”
- “The ideal candidate we are seeking is one that:
- Is proactive and takes initiative, does not need to be told what to do all the time
- Is interested in helping to build and grow a company, rather than just ‘checking off a box’ on a list of tasks
- Someone who has a high standard for their work output and quality, and who holds other to a high standard as well.
- Someone who is friendly to all, is able to work with different personalities / styles (including those that might be different than their own), and likes to have fun with their colleagues.”
- “Top candidates are dynamic, creative, team players with life sciences degrees. There are 3-4 rounds of interviews, and we take culture / fit with the team very seriously. In many cases, we attract top talent who previously did not think consulting was the right fit because of the culture.”
