Pros

Everyone in the office is extremely friendly and helpful. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, but work still gets done. Wine happy hours on thursday.

Cons

Work can be very busy at times and there are multiple global offices, so work is coming in at all times.

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
