Generalist approachAlthough we are aligned by practice for our clients, a recruit will still be a generalist for the first several years of his or her career. We believe broad exposure to industries and project types benefits our consultants and enhances their ability to serve as true strategic advisors to their clients. Over time, there is opportunity to narrow one’s focus and become an industry or functional expert.

The breadth and depth of learning opportunitiesAt EY-Parthenon, we provide an opportunity for you to fast-track your career by addressing the most challenging strategic issues that business and organisational leaders in various industries face through our generalist approach to staffing.

My favorite case to date was an econometric

case on a service provider in the fitness

industry, where the task was to use

regression analysis to forecast future

performance of a portfolio of existing sites,

as well as identifying the number of potential

new locations that could be opened in

the future. It was a really interesting case

that required a lot of brainstorming, data

collection and tweaking, and I learned a lot

of new skills along the way.

— Associate, London

I was staffed on a growth strategy case for

a mid-sized clothing retailer where I had the

opportunity to work directly alongside the

client’s co-founders and management team

to conduct and present analysis that would

directly influence the company’s trajectory.

It was an incredible experience.

— Consultant, London

During my time at EY-Parthenon, I’ve had the opportunity to work on strategy projects for a variety of clients, ranging from small startups to established multinationals. Working with this breadth of clients has helped me to expand my understanding of client needs and how we can be more versatile in meeting them.
