Hi, does anyone know what is the interview process at EY? what to expect for a sustainable business consulting interview

Question

Ian · Accepted Answer

Hi there,

I would highly recommend asking HR directly what to expect (make sure to ask politely and in a way that shows you're just looking to be best prepared).

That said, be prepared for the following:


	Fit/Behavioral
	Technical/brainstorming/unstructured questions/case
	Formal/classic case


Good luck!

Hi, it strongly depends on the practice and on the interviewer. The fit part is always present and I recommend arriving prep and structured. The remaining part can be a standard business case or something more technical. I recommend texting/calling HR to clarify it without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help

Best,
Antonello

3/4 interviews in general:

1/ technical interview related to your practice

2/ two fit interviews with Partners who could staff you.

3/ HR interview.

Hello!

Best is to double-check it with HR, but the process is quite standard in 95% of the offices and you have 2 main workstreams ahead:

1. FIT INTERVIEW

The "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

You can see plenty of reviews from candidates who purchased it already.

Furthermore, you can find 5 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:


	Intro and CV questions > https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/introduction-and-cv-questions-fit-interview-preparation-200
	Motivational questions > https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/motivational-questions-fit-interview-preparation-201
	Behavioural questions (LEADERSHIP) >https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/behavioral-questions-entrepreneurial-drive-fit-interview-preparation-211

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes for the Integrated FIT Guide, since we still have some left from the launch!

2. BUSINESS CASE

The usual prep would encompass:

1. Practice cases with partners asap, as many as you can do.Find experienced partners who can provide a good feedback

2. Practice your math skills, both in your cases and with ad hoc exercisess, such as:

1. ​Multiplying double digit numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndkkPZYJHo

2. Leveraging math tools (Mimir math for iOS), Math tool on Viktor Cheng website to practice

Furthermore, you should practice as much as you can, and ensure that you cover:

1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.

2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue

3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.

4. Pricing cases

5. M&A cases

6. Valuation cases

7. Value chain cases



Hope it helps!

Cheers,
