Business outlook
Pros
- Able to hang onto the coattails of legacy Parthenon brand (great for non-strategy teams like TSE, Valuations, Transaction Diligence) - Ability to work on high-profile transactions
Cons
- Compensation for non-PJP team (strategy) is the same as broader EY (~72K for graduate consultant), but you are working 20-30% more hours - Work itself is 90% operations/implementation and 10% strategy. Hiring team uses Parthenon brand to market this role as "strategic" when it is mostly PMO for integrations and separations - Very poor culture, e.g. ongoing bullying from senior leaders, inflated egos of peers believing they are on par with McKinsey, high turnover
