You’ll be hands-on from day one – learning fast, contributing early, and taking on meaningful responsibility. We don't require a background in life sciences or technology. You bring your drive and hunger to learn; we’ll provide the training. This program will build the core consulting and technical expertise you need for long-term career success.

- Initial Response: Within one week, we will notify you of your next step via email.
- Interview & Case: A 60-minute interview followed by a case exercise. You will have three  days to prepare for the case exercise.
- Decision: Within one week, we will extend an offer or let you know that we are not moving forward.
- Commitment: You will have two weeks to accept your offer. We value commitment; once you accept, we will hold a spot for you and expect you to join us on your start date. Accepting an offer and continuing to interview would be an ethical violation in our view.

## Compensation
