Pros

Great benefits, good work/life balance, flexibility, and flat organization culture

Cons

Relatively low pay in comparison to the industry, being pigeon-holed into the same repetitive tasks each month, complacency among other employees, work not very challenging. The sales department think they are the center of the Morningstar universe and the equity analysts feel overburdened.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
