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

The first-round interview will be behavior based and conducted virtually. 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 skills.
  
  

Can I use AI to prepare for interviews?

Yes! We encourage candidates to prepare for their interviews, and AI can be a helpful resource. You are welcome to use AI tools to learn more about Analysis Group, organize your thoughts, and practice for interviews. What matters most is that the information you share is accurate, reflects your own experiences, and authentically represents your skills and perspectives.

Can I use AI during an interview?

We want to hear your own thoughts, ideas, and perspectives during the interview process. To ensure we have an opportunity to get to know you and understand how you approach questions and solve problems, candidates are not permitted to use AI tools to assist with their responses during interviews.

Candidates may also not record interviews or use AI-powered note-taking tools without prior written approval.

If you are seeking an accommodation during the interview process, including the use of assistive technology, please contact your recruiter. We will work with you to identify appropriate accommodations.

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

Analysis Group sponsors 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. Please note that we do not sponsor work authorization for administrative positions. All our job descriptions clearly outline the responsibilities of each role, as well as whether sponsorship is available. We encourage all applicants to review job postings carefully before applying.

We are proud to employ a diverse, international pool of top talent from around 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?

Yes. To be considered for our summer analyst position, you must be a rising senior or master’s degree student graduating the following calendar year.  

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. 

Do you hire data science candidates for summer internships?

Master’s students are eligible for our data scientist internship, while doctoral candidates are considered for our senior data scientist internship.

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, associate, and data science 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.

Internships are paid positions at Analysis Group.

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

How does Analysis Group support fairness, inclusion, and non-discrimination in the workplace?

We believe that a strong and diverse workforce directly supports our goal to provide the highest-quality work, and that fairness and inclusion are important elements in fostering our employees’ success. This drives our commitment to strong talent and business practices that provide rich opportunities to people of all backgrounds, consistent with our commitment to providing equal employment opportunities to all. We strive to live the values of our firm, knowing how our culture and behavior are important elements of an environment in which individuals feel welcomed and supported. Our collaborative and people- and learning-oriented culture helps our employees contribute fully and meaningfully in the workplace and bring their authentic selves to work every day.

Our employees come from more than 40 countries, speak more than 40 languages, and enjoy transfer opportunities among our 15 global offices. Our formal employee-founded and employee-led affinity groups are open to all offices, roles, and individuals across the firm. They support equitable and inclusive talent and business practices through a variety of programs and initiatives, including intern and new hire programming, mentoring circles and coffee chats, networking events and workshops, work-life events and workshops, parenting events and workshops, cultural events, firm training programs, firm speaker events, and engagement surveys.

How does AG support learning and development?

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 reimbursements, 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. We believe 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. For that reason, we ask all AG employees to be in the office at least three days per week in a typical week. Additionally, we recommend that all new hires are in the office as much as possible in their first year – ideally four to five days a week – given the benefit of in-person interactions for mentoring and developing strong networks. We also value flexibility and in some cases, we provide additional opportunities for people to work remotely, taking into consideration role, tenure, firm contributions, and geography.

How does AI fit into the firm’s business strategy, and the way employees work and build their careers at AG?

Analysis Group views AI as a strategic capability that can amplify our expertise, accelerate how we identify patterns, and support more efficient ways of working. But it does not replace the critical thinking, rigor, creativity, collaboration, or professional judgment that are fundamental to our work.

AI is creating novel and interesting work for AG – both new issues arising from AI itself and different ways to tackle increasingly sophisticated client problems. Our work informs consequential decisions in litigation, health care, and other settings where rigor, judgment, and the ability to explain and defend an analysis remain critical.

The firm is investing in AI tools as well as in training and knowledge sharing, and employees are encouraged to build familiarity with approved tools, identify appropriate use cases, and remain accountable for their work. We develop well-rounded professionals who understand that technical and AI capabilities matter, but so do problem framing, domain expertise, communication, and client and expert interaction. The opportunity is to learn to combine increasingly powerful AI tools with expertise and judgment – a combination we believe will become more valuable as AI advances.
