StepStone Group Response
5y
While we appreciate all of the feedback we receive, we think you may have intended to review another firm with a similar name. StepStone Group has not exited any employees since the beginning of the year due to COVID-19. In fact, we’ve actually hired 124 employees (remotely onboarding many of them) across our global workforce since January 2020. StepStone has provided an extra stipend to all global employees to upgrade their remote work stations to ease the transition to working remotely, and provides a wide variety of benefits to support employees during this pandemic. We are sorry to hear about what you may have experienced with the other company. Best of luck in your future pursuits! -StepStone Group Talent Team

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
