Matthew
Research Professional, Montreal
- Why did you choose Analysis Group?
- Analysis Group gave me the opportunity to do academically rigorous economic work while also gaining good professional and industry experience.
- What do you work on at Analysis Group?
- I work on litigation matters, supporting experts in the creation of reports that provide evidence for legal arguments. The actual work can vary and depends on the specifics of the case.
- What do you enjoy most about your work? What do you find most challenging?
- I really like the people I work with at AG. I’ve met a lot of like-minded, incredibly intelligent and kind people, and learned so much from them. They push me to be a better version of myself in and out of work.
- What new skills have you learned since joining AG?
- I’ve gotten a lot of good programming skills. I felt like I was already decent at programming when I joined, but at AG I feel like I’ve managed to take it one level further. I also have a lot more experience using Excel now, which is meaningful to me because I used to be quite weak at it.
- What new experiences have you had at Analysis Group?
- This is the first real job that I’ve had. It’s been interesting because, unlike schoolwork, the work that I do now often actually goes into reports and is seen by a client or AG senior staff.
- What is it like to work in your office? What is the culture there?
- The Montreal office is very nice and friendly. Everyone is always willing to answer my questions and help me when I’m in a lurch. Everyone is also very skilled and capable, which makes for a very good work environment.
- What do you do when you’re not working?
- I love to read, and I’ve set a reading goal this year of 24 books. I also really enjoy martial arts and try to go to wrestling class whenever I have a clear schedule. Since I am new to Montreal, I also love to explore the city.
