Hey EY-Parthenon 🐠— jointing this summer post-mba in SaT. Wanted to get your take:
-How’s firm culture? Most I spoke with seemed genuinely cool. Is that your exp?
- How much are you traveling? How often are you exp in office?
- How’s wlb? Hours? Exp 60-70, is that about right?
- Any insight if they’ll ever go fully remote (i.e., client site + wfh only)? Eventually want to move to MCOL city w/o EYP office
-Anything you’d wish you’d know at the start? Or advice of how I can best prepare?
Pro
SaT is the service line. Parthenon is the sub-service line (part of SaT). Are you joining Parthenon within SaT or TCF (also within SaT)?

Cool you’re joining post MBA so you’ll be a generalist under EYP and rotate through the different groups. Excited for you!
-Personally I like EYP's culture. I've always found it to be very supportive and collegial.
-Travel has been non existent. Traveled once this fall for client workshops, but due to continuous covid variants, no meaningful traveling has resumed
-WLB completely varies by EYP sub practice, project team, and client. It can be anywhere from 45-70 hours a week. I usually average 50.
-EYP is essentially already at your definition of fully remote. My practice didn't go into the office pre-covid, so the only thing that has changed is not having to travel to client sites.
-I wish I had known how important networking is after getting hired. Getting the experiences you want is highly dependent on knowing the right people.
Hope this helps!
Thanks EYP2, that's all really helpful. Sub-service line is strategy fwiw.
Definitely noted the networking post-hire — thanks for the insight.
