Pros

• Business environment that will constantly test your ability to think critically, pay attention to details, and deliver professional, high-quality client-ready documents. • Increase your business lexicon and comprehension level daily. • I learn a lot about business technology tools and industries daily – good if you like tech and I do! • I work on projects for impressive companies and enjoy a daily sense of responsibility for those projects. • I have direct access to executive level thinking to get feedback on quality of ideas and my work. • The culture here is that of a start up at times and it is very possible to be involved in the launch of a new company with partners that know the ins and outs of a successful business. • All of the interactions I have been privy to in working with Sharona confirm how well admired and appreciated she is by her clients and partners in the business world. • The company has a very broad network and Sharona is great communicator, so if you can dream of a project that is within the scope of the company’s expertise, you best believe that the chances of it becoming real are incredibly high. • Fantastic creativity – I have learned so much about presentation!

Cons

• Can be a high-pressure environment at times and is good for those who like energy, but probably not for those that like a slower pace and less bottom-line responsibility. • Deadline planning can improve. • Can require a high level of multi-tasking which may not suit a person that prefers single projects. • No middle-management, so you are expected to rise to the opportunity on your own.

Pros

Working at STEP kept me on my toes and really exposed me to the professional experience I had been seeking for so long. My time at STEP would not have been the same without the mentorship of both Gary and Sharona. Their years of experience across a multitude of industries coupled with the passion they have for their work allowed me to learn something new every day. This internship, along with all the hard skills, taught me discipline and a new level of professionalism.

Cons

This experience does push you to new limits, ones that will teach you essential lessons that are necessary for one’s growth in a corporate setting. This requires you to learn how to think on your feet, actively contribute and not be afraid of failure.

Pros

At least the LA office does exist.

Cons

- "Management" micro manages everything and tries to hide clear lack of skills through hour long lectures, insults, and more staff meetings than a fortune 500 company. As a result, you can easily work two weeks on a document that should reasonably take less than a day to complete - Started without a vision and as far as I can tell still operating without a vision or common sense - Low pay and you'll have to constantly beg to get your money. You'll also hear from the owner that she is doing you a favor by having you here every time she cuts you a check - Almost everything is fake at this company - office in Europe, advisors (some of the advisors shown on the website were dead when I was working there), and named recruiters to list a few. If the name sounds fake it must be - Large bonuses rarely happen for 2 main reasons: bonuses work like black magic (depends on management mood at the time check is cut) and not many deals close because of lack of skills and management constant bullying clients. - You'll do M&A work without proper licenses necessary in this field of work - Two words to sum up management's approach to life: manipulation and deception - Management tries to run 3 businesses with less staff than needed for one.
