Pros
The Dedham Group is a collaborative atmosphere where you will be exposed to brilliant and hard-working peers and learn directly from the partners who are experts in the field. Because we are a small (but growing!) company, your performance and personal growth is extremely visible and rewards are entirely meritocracy based with custom feedback on your strengths and weaknesses that are truly actionable upon your next review cycle. Projects are intellectually stimulating, with exposure to top pharmaceutical companies and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge products (CAR-T, gene therapy, novel MOA launches, etc.) and emerging themes in life sciences (value based care, pathways, pricing scrutiny, etc.). Even at the analyst level, you will have exposure to client management with top executives. At The Dedham Group, you will have the rare opportunity to "specialize" in a particular project area in which you have built expertise, yet due to the breadth of our projects, you will also always have exposure to new therapeutic areas or project types which leads to limited "boredom". Because of the density of our projects, you are always learning something new. The experience you gain in 1-2 years here is immeasurable and will undoubtedly prepare you for your next steps in a life sciences career. You will also make great network connections through our clients as well as lifelong friends through your coworkers.
Cons
Limited company awareness (your peers outside of life sciences will probably have never heard of TDG) & extremely high standards which can result in stress during final deliverable development.
