Do not study business school (MBA) Case studies. Simply prep for an interview that will test how strong you are technically as Platinion primarily looks for very deep tech experts. You may get a “tech case study” where they will paint the picture of a client scenario that sets the stage for pressure testing your expertise with whichever domain you are interviewing for. Good luck!

I guess it depends on the region. In my interviews with Platinion, we also have a traditional BCG case with a BCG consultant.

I was interviewing at MBB/T2 when I got the interview for PLA and I think having the background of business situation cases helped more than it hurt.

The case itself will be specific to your background and the group within PLA you’re joining. Can range from a brainstorming session for a client situation specific to your background to a more traditional digital transformation case where client has X problem and wants your help filling in Y steps to get to Z solution.

Thanks for the insight. Have a case interview with Platinion soon for a Product Owner role.

Was in the same conundrum of whether to practice the generalist style of cases or to lean on my own product experiences. Do you have any other insights to share from your intake experience?

dm me

Can y’all share what preparation services you used ?

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.
