Pros

A really great culture - people are very open, its very laid back. You do feel like senior management is open, honest, and approachable. Company meetings are well planned, informative, and even entertaining. Definite opportunities to make big impacts on Morningstar Products. Chicago office is beautiful and state of the art - really a pleasure to work at.

Cons

Very unclear career paths, very little guidance. They tout this as a 'benefit' - you make your own career - but really this is a cop-out. Pay is definitely below market for similar positions elsewhere and may not even keep up with inflation so make sure you are happy with your starting salary.
