How's the work-life balance at BCG Platinion? Is it better than core BCG? Interviewing for a role and trying to see if it's the right organisation for me. Thanks

I’m classic, but anecdotally longer projects have better work life balance. Platinion tends to have a much higher % of them given they are tech implementation.

From what I’ve seen of Platinion folks, they tend to have slightly better WLB. However, be warned that salaries, prestige, and levels are also lower than classic.

WLB is the same, average 55hrs with higher and lower depending on the week

With new internal alignment to X and TDA I’d expect any Platinion specific WLB perks to disappear

I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
