Pros
I don't have a background in finance, so was initially unsure about considering a role in financial services. Morningstar is different. It's highly ethical and is full of smart people who collaborate together. It's the kind of culture that strives to hire people with different backgrounds, perspectives, interests, and areas of expertise. I've been given the opportunity to move around the company, try new things, even move across the globe. Morningstar goes out of its way to retain committed, hard-working, and engaged staff who believe in its mission to help investors of all shapes and sizes.
Cons
Every company has its worts, but Morningstar's pale in comparison. Our structure is complex, and our scope is vast; these realities do create some challenges.
