Pros

Location in downtown Chicago. There are no other pros

Cons

Working at Morningstar is the worst experience I’ve had in corporate America. The MDP program is not really what it is advertised as. There is no room for career advancement or growth as a person. The job sucked my entire energy and my skills were worse than when I started here. Also, the company has issues with diversity. There are barely any minorities working at the company, and there is no support for these minorities. It’s difficult to have a voice here. HR acts as a bully for managers. I could go on and on about the endless cons of working here. Please think twice before accepting an offer here!

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.
