How can I find out the status of my application?

Once you’ve applied to a position, you will receive a confirmation email from our applicant tracking system acknowledging receipt of your application. You can use your username and password to log in to the system to check your status. If your qualifications and experience match our current hiring needs, you will be contacted for an interview.

What should candidates expect from the analyst and associate interview process?

The first-round interview will be behavioral based and conducted virtually. Analysis Group does not conduct formal case interviews. The final round interview is typically in person, though virtual options are available. 

• Analyst: The final-round interview will consist of meetings with roughly three to five consultants in both formal and conversational settings. Throughout your interviews, you should expect questions about your research, prior work and internship experience, teamwork and leadership, and career interests. Please be prepared to talk through your own experience working on a research or quantitative project such as a project that involved analyzing quantitative data, a task from an internship that involved building a model, or a research paper that you wrote for a college course.
• Associate: In general, the final-round interview will consist of four to eight meetings with consultants in both formal and conversational settings. There is variation in the interview process depending on your degree type. Throughout your interviews, you should expect questions about your experience (research and prior work and internship experiences), leadership and collaboration style, and career interests. Ph.D. candidates are asked to present on their research with a job talk presentation. Please be prepared to highlight your critical thinking, analytical, and interpersonal skill sets.

Does Analysis Group hire foreign nationals to work in its offices?

Yes, Analysis Group will sponsor work authorization for our consultant and data science positions. We have a dedicated immigration and mobility team that works closely with candidates and employees who require visa or work permit support.

We are proud to employ a diverse, international pool of top talent from across the globe and believe this diversity strengthens our firm. We do, however, consider work authorization as a factor in the recruiting process, and there are times when it can play a role in hiring decisions.

Do you hire only rising seniors for analyst summer internships?

Not necessarily. Our preference is for our summer analyst interns to be rising seniors or master’s degree students graduating the following calendar year; however, we will consider applications from all undergraduate and master’s degree students.

Do you hire associate-level candidates for summer internships?

Yes, we do hire summer associate interns. We seek M.B.A., master’s, and doctoral candidates who are one year away from completing their advanced degree. 

When does the summer internship take place? Do you allow for off-cycle internships?

Our internship program runs for 10–12 weeks, typically starting in early June and running through the middle of August. AG does not typically offer off-cycle internship opportunities. Any available positions will be posted on our analyst and associate career portals.

If I am not selected for a summer internship, can I apply for a full-time position?

If you are not selected for an internship, we strongly encourage you to apply for a full-time position. While we have a limited number of full-time positions reserved for former interns, there are also plenty of opportunities for those who have not interned with us previously.

Are internships paid or volunteer positions?

Internships are paid positions at Analysis Group.

Where does AG have offices?

AG has 14 offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.

What types of practice areas does AG work in?

AG works across a wide range of practice areas, including antitrust, health care, data science, energy and environment, technology, intellectual property, and more. You can learn more about our practice areas and find examples of our case work on the Practices section of our website.

How can I learn more about a day in the life of a consultant at AG?

How does Analysis Group support workplace diversity?

We believe that a diverse workforce directly supports our goal to provide the highest quality work for our clients, which drives our commitment to ensure equal opportunities for people of all sexual orientations, genders, gender identities and expressions, races, colors, ethnicities, national origins, mental and physical abilities and characteristics, ages, socioeconomic statuses, religions, and veteran statuses. We attract a diverse, international pool of top talent from across the globe and invest in visa support for new hires. Our employees come from over 40 countries, speak more than 40 languages, and actively seek transfer opportunities across our 14 global offices.

In addition, we are continually expanding our diversity hiring and employee development efforts through building relationships with organizations that specialize in recruiting, training, and coaching minorities. AG also provides further support through our formal employee-founded and employee-led affinity groups. Our collaborative culture helps ensure that employees from all backgrounds contribute equally and meaningfully to our work. Of note, our firm has been led by a female CEO for nearly two decades.

What does Analysis Group do to support work-life balance?

We strive to ensure that our employees maintain a healthy balance between work and life outside the office. That’s why we sponsor sports teams and fun events for our employees, and offer benefits that include tuition and fitness reimbursement, backup child care, and eldercare. We also offer annual holiday and summer parties that are open to families and guests, as well as annual “weekends away” where transportation, lodging, and meals are provided free of cost to employees. We also encourage employees to design events for their peer groups.

Are there opportunities to work remotely at Analysis Group?

At AG, we are committed to developing and retaining talent, and want to foster an environment in which we are as happy and productive as possible. To that end, we believe that it’s best for us to be together in the office most of the time, and that our collective presence in the office is vitally important for the collaboration, mentorship, networking, and cultural cohesion that make AG such a special place. We also believe that over the long term, most of us will have more career growth and offer better support to one another if we are in the office a significant amount.

We also know that flexibility and the ability to work remotely some of the time are important to many of us. Therefore, while our center of gravity is largely in our offices, most employees may work remotely one to two days a week, most of the time. Employees are also able to temporarily work fully remotely for extended periods of time. Such arrangements are handled on an individual basis.
