Hi there, got an interview with for a BA in consulting (insurance technology) but I’m kind of skeptical. I’m coming from another integrator consulting company. 1) What is the culture like in EY? Are you “agile”. 2) Would working in a specific service line in insurance meant it’s hard to exit?
3) Does EY still use utilisation for consulting? 4) Can I work on international projects? Any nice perks and benefits? Thank you!

Assuming you're joining FSO Insurance, at EY that means Property&Casualty insurance... Most of which means implementation of guide wire or guide wire+edw+reporting or ey does GW while some other firm does edw+reporting or some other combination thereof. Pre covid, that would mean a lot of travel (6 months+generally.. Sometimes that can be 2 years!) to very strange places (cedar rapids, Iowa etc) because P&C clients are located in the most unheard of cities. And a lot of work with offshore (India)... Late night stutus calls,morning huddles (almost all projects are agile), QA of offshore work etc. Since you're a BA, you may not require as much interface with offshore as the tech guys, but be prepared to answer a lot of questions from the onshore tech folks as implementation moves ahead)

In addition to the P&C practice there is also a smaller, Life Transformation practice at EY which is focused on Life, Annuities, Retirement, Group..etc. This group is a quickly growing and has a great culture.

Is it a very small firm? If yes, remember big carrier firms love arm twisting the smaller firms and get whatever they like keeping project scope and timeline aside.
If its a big player then you wont have this issue.
