Hi I am an interview with E&Y for their financial advisory services. Its a graduate role.Has anyone done a first round interview with them? Its going to be compentency based.Could you share your interview experience if you've met them, please. Specifically, I want to know what compentencies they are grilling on. Also, who are E&Y's competitors? And what issues are they dealing with in the market place?Thanks very much for your time.

>Also, who are E&Y's competitors? And what >issues are they dealing with in the market >place?Did someone else sit your degree for you as well? Come on, there are a wealth of resources out there, both online and offline, that will help you answer your question.If you can't be bothered to do the legwork yourself, you're not going to last very long in consulting.

Why is it people that apply to BAS that ask these questions? You never see someone applying to BCG asking this... hmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,

village idiot - if you can't help, at least don't preach. The questions are intended for those that do know and care to share.why do some people on this forum have a percetual bee in their bonnet?If you don't want to help, just don't - who is asking you to profer an opinion?Takes away from the many folks here who are genuinely keen on helping, and do, without sacrcasm or judgement. thanks

just me, if you do a search you'll see that I'm very happy to contribute and help people on here. I'm just not terrible keen on people who are too lazy to do even a little bit of research, and expect to be spoon-fed everything.You're a self-selecting group, though -- because it becomes abundantly clear at interview who has really done their homework and understands the job they're applying for, and those who only have a cursory understanding. And lazy people who expect to be spoon-fed very rarely make it past first-round interview.But here you go. EY's competitors are: other Big 4 consultancies, leading operational consultancies, and specialist consultancies. Or in other words: organisations who do roughly the same thing as EY.Issues facing EY: categories of consulting becoming commodities, fee rate erosion, walking the delicate line between audit and non-audit services they can offer their clients, competitive differentiation.

... and the fact that most of their partner group are ex-ACN and IBM, and have brought their luvvvvely culture with them.The good thing is that E&Y will pretty much hire anyone who applies
