Where you can learn more

 

How do I know which office I am being considered for?

Your interview confirmation email will indicate the office for which you are currently under consideration. You can also log into iCIMS at any time to view your application status, which includes the office associated with your application. If you have any questions or if your geographic preferences have changed, please reach out to your recruiter.

How are interviews structured?

  • Interviews are behavioral-based. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the role and AG.
  • For first-round interviews, you will virtually meet with 1-2 consultants for 30 minutes.
  • For final-round interviews, you will meet in-person with a series of consulting team members.
  • Note that interview schedules may vary based on office location.

Are case studies a part of the interview?

While formal case studies are not part of the interview process, you may be asked scenario-based questions that resemble case-style prompts. These are designed to assess how you think through problems and approach work in a way that aligns with the type of work we do at AG. To prepare, we recommend crafting a clear, structured story about a project you've worked on. Focus on articulating your role, how you approached the challenges, and the impact of your contributions.

I am interviewing for a role within the HEOR, Epidemiology & Market Access team. Are there any additional resources that I should review as I prepare

We recommend exploring the HEOR, Epidemiology & Market Access section of our website to gain a deeper understanding of the team’s work and focus area. We also advise reviewing the Relaxicalm Study to learn about the different stages of some of our health care work and the roles our consultants play in the life cycle of a real-world drug study.

What should I wear?

We recommend wearing business casual attire.

When will I hear back?

You will typically hear back from AG within 2 weeks following a first-round interview and 3 weeks following a final-round interview.

What if I have a competing offer?

Please let your recruiter know as soon as possible so that they can best support you with any next steps.
