BCG platinion seems to be hiring actively. Do they have a lot of projects in their pipeline compared to other consulting firms? Did a lot of people leave so they are trying to fill in the gap and if so why? Any general stance on culture and worklife at Platinion?

The important question to ask if there is a long term career pathway in BCG platinion. They are very open about this being second class compared to the strategy practitioners. Turnover in platinion is high from what I observed.

Having gone through four rounds of interviews, only to be met with delayed timelines and ultimately silence from HR, it feels Platinion is a disorganized mess, scrambling to stay afloat while relying heavily on BCG’s reputation.

Interesting, my interviews were done timely but their leadership did seem a bit like WITCH leadership

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
