StepStone is an incredibly welcoming environment to work in. There are amazing leaders and opportunities for success here. Continuous support is offered along with opportunities to form relationships across teams and asset classes.

Pros

Good people, Reasonable pay, Industry-leading deal volume. Great exposure to credit markets (you will frequently be included in discussions and expected to ask Fund Executives smart questions as a 1st year analyst)

Cons

- StepStone's Credit team is almost entirely based (80%+) in Switzerland leading to very poor mentorship and limited access to senior folks. - Offices outside Zurich Switzerland are very much satellite offices. - Deal teams are often staffed across 6hr+ time zone, - Asset classes are extremely isolated from each other (don't expect to interact with PE/RE/Infra folks). - Analysts through MD are stretched thin across multiple credit products (coinvest, fund investments, portfolio management, etc.). Everyone except the Partners seem to be drowning. - Still operates like a startup - very unorganized/ high touch processes. - No real training
