The Review Process

Everyone at Analysis Group has a hand in helping peers and colleagues grow and develop in their careers. The firm takes the annual performance review process very seriously. Supporting each other in our long-term development is central to our continued success.

Every fall, as part of the review process, we reflect on all aspects of each employee’s performance. This includes case work, project contributions, and firm- and community-building contributions such as advising, leading firm initiatives, and mentoring. We find that our review process contributes enormously to the cohesive, collaborative, and principled environment that makes our employees take such pride in our firm.

Analysis Group has an internal labor market. You will be placed on a case team when you join. From there, you can build connections and find new case work based on your interests, supported by our staffing coordinators. Some generalist analysts work primarily within one practice. Other generalists choose to gain their experience across a variety of practices and case types. Health care analysts will gain deep expertise in the life science fields and are able to explore treatment areas across our HEOR, Epidemiology & Market Access practice.

You will work with more than just your own cohort at Analysis Group. You will have plenty of opportunities to work with other analysts and associates, but you will also interact with senior staff, law firms, industry leaders, and experts within the field.

Case Examples

Even in their first season with Analysis Group, analysts become important contributing members of their teams. Many work on litigation cases. Explore our cases to see examples of Analysis Group’s work. If you wish, you can narrow your search by any of our practice areas.

Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions about joining Analysis Group. Additional answers are available on our FAQ page.

How should I apply?
Please complete our online application and include a resume or CV, a cover letter indicating your geographic preference(s), and your unofficial transcript(s). To be considered for multiple office locations, please list your geographic preferences in your cover letter as well as in the online application.

I have a master’s degree. Should I apply for the analyst or associate position?
If you have a master’s degree and at least four years of relevant work experience or an M.B.A. degree, please apply to the associate position. If you have a master’s degree and fewer than four years of experience, please apply to the analyst role.

When should I submit my application?
Analysis Group accepts applications at any time. Our primary recruiting cycle for full-time opportunities begins in September and concludes in March. Please check the relevant job posting for any specific deadlines.

What is the interview process like? How many interviews should I expect?
We hold two rounds of interviews. The first round is typically held virtually. The second round is held at the office location for which the candidate is interviewing. It involves a series of interviews conducted by our consultants. Interviews cover a mix of behavioral, teamwork, and analytical topics.

Does Analysis Group follow a hybrid work model? Does it allow the flexibility to work fully remotely?
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. For that reason, we ask all AG employees to be in the office at least three days per week in a typical week. 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.
