Hi Everyone,

I have a second-round interview which is most likely a case study round for 165 minutes with EY Parthenon. Any tips and guidance, its for TSE (IT)

What kind of case goes on for almost 3 hours???

OP - We look for logic structure, good assumptions, data / fact orientation, etc. - everything you would expect in a rigorous case interview. Will push you on public math (but just a bit), challenge your assumptions, probe for logic flaws, test for coachability. Depending on your level, we will push you to move to "how would you structure that workstream / project?"

All-in-all, this is a very structured case interview that we put everyone through so that we can have a really balanced perspective on relative strengths and weaknesses.

Most report it is actually way better than some random verbal one.

Prep a bit on overall strategy frameworks and approach it like you would any new case or client discussion. Remember, the others in there enjoy strategy consulting, you want to do it, and this is some time to address a simplified strategy conundrum.

You will be fine.

That can’t possibly be a case study the whole time with one interviewer. I’d ask the recruiter for more details

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.
