I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morningstar (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2017
Interview
One call from the director of engineering and then an on-site interview where 5 different people from the team interviewed me ranging from the team ,peers,leads and the scrum master or manager. They just interview me and even though the interview went well and I felt the people were impressed I believe they went ahead with some other candidate for monetary reasons. I got a feedback after two weeks of interview. If they treat their applicants like this then I am not sure how they treat their employees!
