Featured Interview

Anonymous Employee in Toronto, ON
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY-Parthenon (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2021
Did one 20 minute phone interview with an HR representative and then had a mini virtual ‘super day’ consisting of 3 30 minute interviews with partners and senior managers. Interviews were mostly behavioural questions with some small case-type questions
- What specific strategy work have you done in the past?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at EY-Parthenon
The first step is doing online tests: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning. Reckon you have to be in the 80th percentile to go through to the next round. After that there is one round where you have to work a case.
- How would you describe the perfect work culture to thrive and be happy?

Great interview process. First i had a GMAT style exam, followed by two interviews with consultants and managers. Process was quite enjoyable, and they made me feel right at home.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Calgary, AB
I applied online. I interviewed at EY-Parthenon (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2023
Interviewed for the Transactions Strategy and Execution Team at a consultant level. Initially had a 30 minute screening call with an HR consultant before being referred to next step in the process. This consisted of two 1-hour interviews, the first with two Managers and second with a Partner and Senior Manager. I was explicitly told that these were Behavioral and FIT interviews by the HR team (with case studies to form part of the next step). Was then very surprised to learn on both calls that there was a 30 minute case study type interview component which caught me off guard and naturally I hadn't prepared or practiced for. I was told they like to "surprise candidates with case studies". Seems like a strange way to do things and I didn't make the next round with the feedback being that I underperformed in the case studies - no surprises there.
- Can you take me through a project in detail where you set a goal and achieved this goal, outlining what steps you took to get there and any problem solving techniques you used along the way?
- Discuss a situation where you encountered conflict in the work place and how you dealt with this?
- Talk me through your two biggest achievements in your career to date and how these tie in to why you want to work in TSE and at EY Parthenon?
- What transactions and strategy experience do you have? Can you walk me through your involvement on a particular project in this type of space?

I interviewed for the Software Strategy Group role. There was a resume screening and a superday. 2 behavioral and 1 technical M&A case interview, all back to back and in-person
- Why SSG? What field in tech are you interested in?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at EY-Parthenon
Intense but short. 3 interviews in one day, personal fit + cases where at least one interview is conducted by a partner. Quick decision, great process from EY here, did not expect that tbh
- Can you solve this case?
