First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at BCG Platinion.
IT Consultant
The whole process took about 3 months, which felt very long. The recruitment agency they used was pretty unprofessional, giving me hardly any updates or guidance, and I had to chase them a lot. I was told all interviews were in-person. What they told me about the interview format wasn't what actually happened in the rounds, which was frustrating because I prepared based on their info. One senior person asked me about my current life stage and mentioned how some women have kids, which I'm not sure if that's appropriate. I also got the sense they might prefer people with Big Four experience.
- Could you start by telling us about yourself?
- Can you answer some questions about the technical side of the IT Consultant role?
- What is your current stage of life?
Talent Acquisition Manager
So I first chatted with Denise, the Talent Acquisition Manager in Spain. It was a really nice and open chat. After that, I had a conversation with two recruiters from Paris. This one was more structured, but still pleasant and informative. They told me about the next step, which would have been a meeting with two stakeholders. But then, the process stopped because it was a fixed-term contract for 8 months. Still, it was a good experience overall!!
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Why are you interested in BCG Platinion?

IT Associate
The entire process took about 3 to 4 months to complete. It started with an online case assessment, followed by an HR screening call. Then there were two interviews with the manager, which involved a case study and behavioral questions. After that, I had two interviews with partners that involved unpredictable case formats. To top it off, there was one more additional interview at the very end.
- Questions about my general personal impact.
- Cases related to technology, some with difficult technical aspects.
HR Specialist
It was a really thorough process. First, there was a phone screening. Then, I had a first interview with the line manager, followed by a second interview with the department director. The final interview was with the system leader. Even though the people I met with were senior, the atmosphere was always friendly and professional.
- Can you tell us about your competencies and what motivates you to apply?
- How do you embody a flexible and adaptive mindset?
- Can you share an example of how you've shown strong resilience?
