Hi everyone,
is there anyone that can tell me some details about case interviews at Platinion?
I only seem to find information regarding cases for MBB, etc. as there is not much info about Platinion out there. I've heard that cases at Platinion are mostly specific IT-Consulting cases (IT outsourcing, migration projects, make or buy, m&a).
If you have any example cases or tips (in German or English), it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Marco
Hello Marco,
Preparing for MBB cases is not a bad place to start. Platinion is part of BCG, therefore it is likely that there is a similar overarching structure - even if the case topics are not the same - as BCG will want to maintain a brand image of a reputable consultancy.
Nonetheless, Glassdoor is often a great place to find tailored answers to your specific query. Please see link below:

If you have any other doubts don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
LL
Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly
