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.
Please list your geographic preferences in your cover letter and our online application to be considered for multiple locations.
You can find work examples for each office location, or explore our various practices.
The first-round interview will be a behavioral interview conducted over the phone or on campus. Analysis Group does not conduct case interviews.
- Associate: In general, the interview will consist of four to eight meetings with consultants in both formal and conversational settings. There is variation in the final-round 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 talk through your experiences highlighting your critical thinking, analytical, and interpersonal skill sets.
- Analyst: The final-round interview will consist of meetings with roughly three to five consultants. 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 financial model, or a research paper that you wrote for a college course.
