It employs more than 1,200 professionals, most with advanced degrees in economics, law, finance, accounting, or business.[4] It has been named as a best place to work by the Boston Globe,[5] Vault.com,[6][7] and Glassdoor.com.[8] It has consistently appeared in the Boston Globe's "Top Places to Work" in Massachusetts rankings for the past ten years, and was ranked first overall in the large company category in 2012 and 2013.[9] It was also named a "Vault Consulting 50" firm and was honored with a 2015 Employees' Choice Award in the small and medium business category of Glassdoor's national "Best Places to Work" listing.

The CEO and chairwoman of Analysis Group is Martha S. Samuelson. She was elected to the International Who's Who of Competition Lawyers and Economists (2012) and Euromoney's Guide to the World's Leading Competition and Antitrust Lawyers/Economists (2012).[10][11]

However, the firm's reputation is not without controversy. It and other economic consulting firms have been criticized for their cozy (and opaque) relationships with top academics and their defense of a number of companies at the heart of the 2007-08 financial crisis.[12]

Controversy

In 2020 Analysis Group settled with the U.S. Department of Labor over allegations of hiring and compensation discrimination against minorities, including 417 Asian applicants and 10 Hispanic employees. Analysis Group agreed to pay $410,000 in backpay plus interest to the affected individuals.[14]
