BCG Platinion R1 Interview

Hi everyone,

It is quite certain, that I will be invited to the R1 interview at BCG Platinion in the near future, since I will be applying as a referral of an established colleague.

I am aspiring the role as an IT-Consultant. My background is in ERP transformation consulting (~2yrs), but I want to shift my perspective from ERP centric delivery towards IT-strategy cases.

Since I just started with prepping cases, I am grateful for any advice the community has regarding the application process @Platinion.
So hit me with all you know - application cycle between interview rounds, reaching out to interviewers beforehand, case topics, etc.

Thank you in advance, cheers!

Hi there,

I see you've received a few great answers on this already.

I'd recommend you proactively clarify with the recruiter whether your Platinum interviews will be industry-specific or not (it depends on the role and the office). This will help you have a more tailored preparation.

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

Great to hear you’re targeting BCG Platinion—your ERP background is a solid foundation.

A few pointers for your prep:

Interview format: Expect 2–3 rounds with a mix of fit and case. Platinion cases are often tech-heavy—think IT architecture choices, system integration trade-offs, or tech due diligence—not just generic profitability cases
Emphasize structured thinking even with technical content. They’ll look for clarity, logic, and business impact awareness
Know your story: Be ready to explain why you’re moving from delivery to strategy, and how your past experience adds value
Reaching out: If you know who’s interviewing you, a short, polite LinkedIn message to say you’re looking forward to meeting them can help—but not essential
Interview cycle: Usually 1–2 weeks between rounds, though it can vary

Practice tech-focused cases and keep sharpening your structure—Platinion wants strategic thinkers with hands-on credibility.

Happy to help you prep – feel free to reach out.

Best,

Evelina
