EY-Parthenon ESG Transaction Strategy and Execution (Ops) Case Study

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on passing the first interview round at EY-Parthenon!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

• For obvious reasons, you should be very well equipped for technical questions/ case studies on both M&A and ESG. As such, I would highly advise you to read up on M&A- and ESG-related publications by EY(-Parthenon). Moreover, as an M&A expert, I would be more than happy to have a more in-depth conversation with you on the matter.
• Moreover, I would advise you to get acquainted with the leaders of the respective practice since chances are very high your interviewers will be some of them. In case you even know your interviewers, I would advise you to do a proper “interviewer due diligence”.
• Lastly, I would advise you to practice written case studies as best as possible. I would be more than happy to help you get to the desired level of readiness. While most case study rules equally apply to written case studies, it is still worthwhile to practice and thus “know the process”.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your final interview round with EY-Parthenon, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hello!

Hi,

I have an interview coming up for the same role. Could you please tell me a bit the case study and the questions asked? Thank you!

This is a tough one. The interview is likely to be fairly technical, and they always adjust it to the specific role you are recruiting to. You have to be able to explain how you would run a project in ESG, and why. In other words, be prepared to discuss your experience and decisions/options in previous projects. 

Even if you don't discuss your past, it will be helpful to prepare for discussing a given scenario.
