Career at BCG Platinion
At BCG Platinion, teams of experts work together to address the digital challenges of the future. Our IT Architects and IT Consultants have project responsibility from day one.
IT Architects analyze and optimize our clients' existing IT architectures and design modern digital target architectures with innovative technologies. They stay at the client's side as technical experts, from the first sketch through the resulting high-performance IT landscape, and support the introduction of modern software creation and work methods. Throughout, they never lose sight of the client's IT development and capacities. On projects, whether international, regional, or local, they serve as an interface between our IT Consultants and small software development teams.
Our IT Consultants are highly versed in both business administration and technical solutions and seek unconventional approaches to IT management. Within the framework of projects, they define requirements, compile business cases, evaluate technical solutions and their realizability, and digitize business processes. They support clients in the introduction of agile work methods and DevOps and also provide coaching in the use of these methods.
It is part of our company culture that our professionals, especially at the start of their careers, have the opportunity to collect a wide range of experience. Our colleagues at entry-level are therefore not assigned to a specific practice area, but instead work in multiple industries. With growing experience and seniority, they are enabled and encouraged to specialize in a single industry. The career paths of IT Architects and IT Consultants progress first to Senior Consultant and Senior IT Architect, respectively, and then to Manager, Principal, Associate Director, and finally Managing Director. A track change from Architect to Consultant and vice versa is possible at any stage of your career.
Professional development opportunities
Our colleagues grow professionally and learn to put their talents to effective use while working together on a daily basis, helping each other drive IT projects with conviction and passion, and making use of an individually customizable training program. As a BCG company, we profit from both worlds: Tailored IT training at BCG Platinion along with BCG's broad range of knowledge and experience. Our employees' personal and professional development is a priority for us right from the start: Therefore, after an onboarding week comprised of diverse activities, during which all newbies get to know various people and functions at the company, they have an orientation phase with in-house as well as virtual trainings. Various peers and mentors at the company guide them along their individual career paths. All of our employees participate in continuous annual performance rounds with valuable feedback for personal development. Joint career development talks are held in regular cycles, with detailed individual feedback provided by two colleagues and the discussion of upcoming career steps. Our internal Knowledge Management platform is also a broad source of expertise that can be accessed and shared at all times.
