Additional Information

• Your start at The Stepstone Group: We want you to feel comfortable right from the get-go and you can begin networking immediately. That's why we always start with an onboarding event lasting two days at our headquarter in Düsseldorf, during which you get to know your new colleagues, our products and our culture. After that, the onboarding continues in your department - with several weeks of individual training. 

• Your further development: We are growing - and of course we want you to grow with us. We will support you with targeted training that will help you develop both personally and professionally. 

• Big player with start-up flair: Even though we've grown quite a bit, we haven't lost our laidback attitude from the early days. In concrete terms, this means that we are on a first-name basis, we have short communication channels, flat hierarchies and super helpful colleagues. 

• Social Days: Talk is silver, action is golden - which is exactly why all our employees have 2 Social Days a year. These can be used flexibly for social and sustainable commitment. And the best thing about it: you don't have to take any holidays. 

• Holidays: While we're on the subject of holidays ... We offer 30 days of paid leave per year plus one customary day. And we always have Christmas and New Year's Eve off. 

• Four-legged friends welcome! - Would you like to bring your dog? With pleasure. Every day is "bring-your-dog-to-work-day"!

• Our location? We're easy to reach - whether by car, train or bike. By the way: We sponsor 50% of your parking space or job ticket. 

• Job-bike: And we also have good news for all cyclists: with our Job-bike offer, we support you in getting to the office quickly and sustainably. 

• Mobile Office: This is also possible with us! As a general rule, we offer two days of remote working per week. Feel free to ask directly during the interview to find out what the policy is for your role. 

• Fancy a coffee? Our coffee is brewed fresh and free of charge. Speaking of fresh, of course, we also serve fresh fruit every day. 

• Our in-house post office: Standing in line isn't your thing? Then simply have your parcels delivered to the office. 

• Even more benefits: Christmas party, summer party, team events, incentives, subsidization on our company pension scheme and great offers at wholesale rates (e.g. for mobile phone contracts, Sixt and hotel bookings with HRS) - our list is long. There's bound to be something for you too!
