Generalist approachAlthough we are aligned by practice for our clients, a recruit will still be a generalist for the first several years of his or her career. We believe broad exposure to industries and project types benefits our consultants and enhances their ability to serve as true strategic advisors to their clients. Over time, there is opportunity to narrow one’s focus and become an industry or functional expert.
The breadth and depth of learning opportunitiesAt EY-Parthenon, we provide an opportunity for you to fast-track your career by addressing the most challenging strategic issues that business and organisational leaders in various industries face through our generalist approach to staffing.

My favorite case to date was an econometric
case on a service provider in the fitness
industry, where the task was to use
regression analysis to forecast future
performance of a portfolio of existing sites,
as well as identifying the number of potential
new locations that could be opened in
the future. It was a really interesting case
that required a lot of brainstorming, data
collection and tweaking, and I learned a lot
of new skills along the way.
— Associate, London
I was staffed on a growth strategy case for
a mid-sized clothing retailer where I had the
opportunity to work directly alongside the
client’s co-founders and management team
to conduct and present analysis that would
directly influence the company’s trajectory.
It was an incredible experience.
— Consultant, London
During my time at EY-Parthenon, I’ve had the opportunity to work on strategy projects for a variety of clients, ranging from small startups to established multinationals. Working with this breadth of clients has helped me to expand my understanding of client needs and how we can be more versatile in meeting them.
