Hey,

Answers:

1. Any ideas on what to expect and how to prepare?

2. Is this case study going to be similar to the ones come in Mckinsey, Bain & BCG?

The case study wont be MBB style and it will be more of a discussion based and there could be specific questions the interviewer will ask or just one broad question e.g. “How will you approach this problem”. They could give you the case to read and analyse or just describe the problem. Most likely the former. Be prepared for any type of case study i.e. non supply chain too. All good practice of casing applies i.e asking right questions, announcing your assumptions, structured thinking, providing creative ideas etc. But make sure you definitely clarify the format with HR.

3.I have access to casecoach.com - will it be of the same style?

Nope! You wont find many EY style cases available online. But nonetheless practice as many candidate led cases as you can to get a good feel of case studies in general.

4. Even though it is for the position of supply chain and operations, the person who will be taking my interview is from Telecom,media and Technology (TMT) sector. Does that mean the case study will not be from supply chain & operations?

TMT is in industry group and SC&O is a functional area. So this interviewer could be a supply chain person for TMT industry or could be from another part of EY. If you have the name look them up on Linkedin. Regardless, dont speculate and be prepared for anything that might come your way.

If you need, am here to help. Supply Chain is my area of expertise and I have helped candidates get into EY UK in their Supply Chain practice :). Feel free to shoot me a direct message.

Dear candidate, excellent. There is no guarantee that it will be of a particular industry, however if this is your first case study, it is likely to be in the practice you are applying to. But cannot be guaranteed. Good luck and best regards.
