Pros

People are friendly and intellectual curious. Morningstar gives junior employees much more autonomy and responsibility than other research teams.

Cons

Morningstar has the ingredients to be an elite research organization, but the company wants to run it like a discount shop.

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.
