EY- Strategy & Transactions Interview

Hi, 

I have an interview with EY-SaT in one day and I received all the information today. I have, till now did some online games and a HireVue video-recorded interview. 

This will be a virtual teams interview where I have a 1-hour case study (HR) + 30 mins of case presentation (4 interviewers from EY-P, EY Transactions, Due Diligence) + 45 mins of interview ( 2 interviewers)

Since this will be my first interview in such a virtual setting. I want to ask the following: 

1. What will the case study and the presentation of the case look like? Will it is a classic consulting style case with market sizing, profitability, etc or will it be more using the P&L and Bal Sheet data? Will I need to use MS Powerpoint or will it be a paper presentation? 

2. Key success factors for the first virtual interview including presentation 

3. What skills should I showcase the most? Since there are multiple teams sitting in the interview? 

Would appreciate a prompt reply since I have the interview coming up so soon. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Given you only have 1 day, I'll really keep my advice brief and immediatedly actionable:

You need to show them that you are a smart, capable individual who works well with others, drives to insights, communicates+thinks in a structured and clear manner, and is coachable/adaptable.

Be ready for literally anything, but always come in with the hat/mindset of "I'm going to get to the bottom of this problem". Do so by being objective-driven and ruthlessly eliminating any information/charts/questions that will not get you closer to the answer.

Good luck!

EY-S&T does not use case interview, unless you are interviewing specifically for EY-Parthenon.

I have recently helped several candidates with the Strategy & Transactions process, as I used to work for EY and are well aware of their recruiting process. 

So it is a bit late to answer this question, but am happy to provide details to anyone who happens to come accross this Q&A.

Hello Petro, if possible i would like to have the details you are mentioning. I am looking to join ey S&T team as a junior and I would like to know how to be properly prepared for the interviews. Do I have to refresh some topics in specific?
