I’m on a project with lots of Platinion team members and they are tremendously talented and bring lots of value. There are many different roles (eg ranging from consulting to development) so it will depend on what you’re looking at. I have a very positive impression of the quality of people
Then based on the process i experienced I am led to believe they probably do not utilize the raw talent they hire or recognize the need for organizing and reaping the rewards of that talent. They are just coasting on the BCG brand name.
Also, the culture at core BCG is different to each of the global specialty businesses. Be sure to talk to at least one person at Platinion doing similar work before considering joining.
The product business, much newer, is struggling to gain credibility. Not all of these new businesses will necessarily be successful.
@D1 your pay structure depends on your level too. We cannot share details. All I can say is benefits will be categorically better than B4.
Hi, I am currently looking at a potential position at Platinion. Not sure what salary structure I should expect. Would they consider my 4 years of professional experience?
Just know that there is no situation where I’d go back to B4 after experiencing working here, yes at a GSB
Also curious! And I heard benefits are less than generalist, is that true if so by about how much?
Same for secondments and international opportunities. Stop talking about things you are uninformed on
All of the global specialty businesses at BCG are very different to the core consulting business (generalist career path).
Not the same prestige, very different talent. But at least Platinion has its own partners. That cannot be said for all GSBs.
D1, the benefits package is the exact same. Bonus structure is lower than BCG classic but also much higher than Big 4
For those of you guys saying the benefits structure is significantly different - what would be an example at the same for BCG Core and Platinion level?
Ex) 100k with 20% bonus vs 80k with 10% at Platinion
Also, is it common to switch between core and Platinion or any of the other groups? Sorry for any terminology mistakes lol
^ this is accurate. Comp is way higher especially the more senior you get
Fair enough, just curious what the difference is from a GSB to Core because that plays into the decision for which I would shoot for. Appreciate all the info though!
