I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BCG Platinion (New York, NY)
Interview
Got invited by Platinion recruiter for the interviews.
First round is phone screening with associate directors, questions were around experience on the resume.
Second round contains three 45 min onsite interviews, meeting team members from Staff to MD, questions including both technical (modeling, risk analytics) and behavioural.
Third round face to face with a project leader, questions are around technical knowledge in data analytics and software use like SAS and Python.
Last round is a short conversation with the team leader, basically talking about your motivation and career plan.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BCG Platinion (Munich, Bavaria) in Jan 2026
Interview
Insgesamt Gespräche mit 4 verschieben Mitarbeitenden auf verschiedenen Levels, alle Gespräche sehr wertschätzend aber auch fordernd inhaltlich bei den Case Studies, durchgehend Kontakt mit Recruitern mit Feedback über Prozess etc.

Interview
I had a screening call with a manager and a case study interview with a senior consultant. My case study interview was rescheduled twice. Although HR was transparent about the reasons for rescheduling, I perceived it as a red flag regarding the company's internal organization. Ultimately, I was interviewed by a senior consultant with half my years of experience, whose comments not only indicated a lack of experience but also did not reflect well on the company culture. Following that interview, I decided to withdraw from the hiring process.
Good interview process with consistent communication from my recruiter. Clear instructions for each round: 1) HR Screening; 2) Conversational Interview; 3) Case Interview; 4) Case Interview; 5) Culture Fit Interview; 6) Offer Extension
