Hi that is a good question,

I think it depends also on where you are in the world. Of course EY-P is in general a well respected firm and I believe they have a strong reputation in life science. However, I have the feeling that the Big 4/big tech strategy arms are not really working out for the firms and are being more and more integrated with the exception of Strategy&. Brands like Monitor Deloitte seem to have vanished completely.

So if you really want to go into strategy consulting I always would try to get into MBB or Tier 2 first and then consider the Tier 3 companies, unless they are particularily strong in your country or in the area of expertise you are interested in.

While we're on the topic of EY-P..... :)

How does EY-P differ from the former EY Strategy, especically in UK (and larger Europe)? In the UK, for example, did EY Strategy simply migrate their entire team into EY-P? What does that mean for the former stand-alone Parthenon? How does does the merger affect EY Strategy's legacy functions and industries? EY Strategy UK catered to largely energy, consumer goods and automobile clients in a growth and performane improvement capacity. Parthenon was (from what I've heard), largely catered to PE clients and did a lot of post-merger value creation for M&A clients. Does the newly created entity basically now carry out every single one of these functions, or did they decided to prioritize and consolidate functions? How about industies? Any clarification will be very helpful.... Thank you!
