Pros

Good and flexible working hours. A lot of time after work. Great benefits. CFA and Booth MBA are two things many people pursue at Morningstar. Flat working structure. Welcoming environment and good morale. People are helpful. One can excel and will be recognized if you put effort into it.

Cons

Below average compensation. Unclear salary policy. Career advancement to middle-level and up seems limited. Less structured in day-to-day management. Hard to get things done if you don't push for it. Work is financial service-related but less tangent to finance than people would think.
