That practice also does a lot of infrastructure work as in large construction projects, etc. Pretty fast growing area with lots of opportunity.

Not sure we do case studies with experienced hires but we do sometimes with seniors coming out of MBA programs.

You'll have several interviews and some of them will test your technical knowledge and others will be more around culture and fit. The clue will be who's speaking with you. People outside of the PM practice will be more culture and fit. You can ask the HR person helping you to explain who each person is in advance or just ask each interviewer what they do when your start the interview. You'll talk to some piers, an M or SM or too and a partner if there's one around.

EY interviews are pretty low key and once you make it to the in office interviews, you're pretty much someone we want to hire and we're just making sure. Relax. Enjoy the day. And good luck.

Like any other big 4. Lots of content related questions. Which group within PI? Is this FSO?

Never heard of ppm

No idea.

What have they told you about the PPM? Type of projects and work? Make sure your up to speed with trends in project management and portfolio management. Setting up pipelines for projects and how to valuate projects. IRR and NPV knowledge.

EY2 is there a lot of capital project work? Do you do both portfolio work and program or are you aligned with one side?
