Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice on the interview process for the EY Supply Chain Senior Technology Consultant role.
Could anyone share what the typical interview process looks like, What kind of technical skill questions? what kind of case interviews are usually given (strategy vs. operations vs. tech-enabled transformation), and how technical the cases tend to be at the Senior Consultant level? I’d also appreciate insight into the behavioral interview questions EY commonly asks. Thank you!
That is a fantastic role, and you are right to prepare differently. For specialized technology consulting at the Big Four, especially a discipline like Supply Chain EAM, the interview dynamic shifts significantly away from the generalized case prep MBB candidates often use.
The interview process is less standardized than a generalist track. You will typically go through 2-3 rounds, culminating in a conversation with a Partner or Senior Manager who is likely the hiring lead for that specific EAM practice. The objective of the entire process is not just to test analytical muscle, but to validate your functional knowledge and client management maturity.
Regarding the case, forget the classic "Should Company X enter Market Y?" strategy case. Your case will be deeply operational and implementation-focused—a technology-enabled transformation scenario. Expect the prompt to be highly practical, like: "We need to execute a rapid implementation of Maximo/SAP PM for a utility client facing regulatory pressure. Outline the phased approach, identify the three biggest integration risks, and explain how you would staff the data migration workstream." Technical questions are often integrated into the case, probing your familiarity with specific EAM capabilities, data governance standards, and technical debt management.
For the behavioral section (fit interviews), remember that at the Senior Consultant level, they are testing for management potential. Pivot your STAR stories to focus heavily on how you handle client conflict, how you delivered difficult news to executive stakeholders, and how you mentored or led junior analysts to successful outcomes under stress. Show maturity, project ownership, and political savviness, not just effort.
All the best!
