Pros

*Benefits are good *Flexible work hours *free cokes and coffee in the office *good location, easy to get to and from. *Good networking in the industry

Cons

Management in some areas are rude and very condescending. There really is a lack of people skills. As an employee outside of Chicago, there was little to no training, and difficult to get support - pretty much a fend for yourself type of environment. Very cliquish in nature, and lots of politics. Processes required to close sales to be very cumbersome across most SBU's thus obstructive to productivity. All in all, Morningstar makes it harder than necessary to keep morale up and good employees from straying.

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.
