EY-P Software Strategy Group versus Kearney for Internship

Hey all,


I'm a junior studying CS and have offers from EY-Parthenon's Software Strategy Group (~100 people). It's mostly commercial/market/financial due diligence for M&A, serving 9 of the 10 biggest PE firms by AUM. Projects are short, but unlimited PTO, people are from good schools/pedigrees.


On the other hand, I have an offer from Kearney. Their growth trajectory seems fast, but I've heard hours are bad (but would this be true for SSG as well)? And revenue growth has stagnated? I'm not sure which one to go with, EY-P SSG seems like it's doing really well, but Kearney may have more name brand. I'm looking to maximize a wide variety of exit opps/long-term leadership and $$. For context, this past summer I interned at Amazon as a SWE, but don't really want to do that FT, or at least want to explore consulting or product management (no luck on this end yet though).


Curious to hear any thoughts!

 

EYP SSG if youre remotely interested in exiting to tech (esp given your ex-Amazon SWE background). Kearny if youre interested in ops/logistics/scm.

 

At SSG you won't be doing financial diligences (those are brutal). You'll be doing commercial DD's as well as tech and product DD's which are more technical in nature, and may fit your background more.
