EY-Parthenon Strategy Associate Programme in London

Hello all!

Has anyone out here heard back from EY-P London about their associate program? Itching to hear from them considering they are supposed to be getting back to us today.

Hello!

If the date of today was communicated by them -officially or unofficially-, then touch base with HR by the end of the week. Good luck!

Best,

Hi there!

Just to add to your peers' responses...if you still haven't heard back by Thursday/Friday this week (and their "notice date" is today), feel free to follow-up with HR.

Would it be a bit much to send an email tomorrow? After all, I assume a late response is basically a rejection at the early stage of recruitment.

Hi there, probably not too much. I would personally wait 1-2 days more but there's a high risk of overthinking these things as well :)

So the way EY-Parthenon London works is that they only contact successful/potential candidates after CV screening, people have porgressed onto the online test stage and as of last friday they gave out interviews dates. 

Sorry this isn't the news you were looking for :(

Interesting, I got and did the online tests but I was under the impression that we were supposed to hear back today... I'll drop them an email tonight so at least I definitively know but thank you so much for replying! Guess you got an invitation?

Thank you for the kind words- it's a numbers game in London. even for smaller firms - I applied to Roland Berger got rejected (even with a recommendation) friend of mine did some digging and found out 3k people applied to RB and they're looking to hire single digit number of people

I've just done the online test for RB and the deadline was yesterday....not sure when they'll get back but hearing this is disappointing

how was your RB test? didnt get parthenon either and found the RB test so hard!

don't be too disheartened - if you made it to RB test or 1st round interview you've gone through the biggest 'culling' section.

the RB test was exceptionally difficult because each question is timed....but I think I did okay (definitely didn't screw it up) but well I thought I did better for EY-P so my estimation might be wrong.

Not heard yet! Does anyone know about L.E.K - are they still sending out emails for the next steps? Or is it a rejection if you haven't heard?

Thank you

What was the format for the zoom test? Was it similar to the Applied platform or more GMAT data sufficiency?

GMAT-style numerical only - problem solving and data sufficiency

Hi, it usually requires up to 3 weeks. However, do not hesitate to contact HR without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help

Best,

not an 'Einstein' comment, but I've figured out that if they don't respond early, then it's a rejection. Hope you get a positive response from other places.

well they made the decision by combining your performance in the test and looking at your CV I think...in my case it might be that my CV wasn't strong enough

though I do think they shouldn't have invited me to the test if they think my CV wasn't strong enough
