Have seen a lot of negative reviews for BCG Platinion on here and so confused. Deloitte S&A or Platinion for the SC level? Is platinion really that bad?

I left late last year. It has pros and cons.

BCG pampers employees, so perks and benefits are nuts. No sales or chargability pressure at lower/mid levels. Decent pay between B4 and BCG core. But PLA is definitely second class within the firm. I was bored with the work, but most people seem to like it.

Or I honestly just haven’t seen it yet :)

I have not enjoyed my time at Platinion and definitely regret leaving Big4. Workload is less but it’s boring as hell, work varies between decent to doing work an analyst or consultant would do in big 4 (came in as seasoned SM), and as others have said are openly looked down upon and treated poorly.

But pay is good without the sales pressure.

Depends what you want out of your career.

Sure, but not all big 4 work is implementation side. And bcg does quite a lot of implementation type work /PMO etc and are also trying to push more and more into delivery

It really depends where you are in Big4, there’s a lot of garbage roles for sure. If you were doing technical delivery at Big4 and now you’re doing solution architecture, you could see that as a step up...

Guys, I don’t need convincing I already know I work under S&A in the A&C practice. It’s on my DPN, I double checked.

I haven’t been at Platinion for too long, but I’m enjoying it.

Meh? I’d say 50-60. There has been 0 bench so I think that’s a lot of it (versus workload normally being this bad).

It’s honestly more sustainable then what I had at my previous firm.

Checking glassdoor might help
