      A good start in financial industry

      Pros

      Morningstar provides a perfect working environment and flexiable working time. Compared to other financial companies, it won't give you too much pressure. In addition, it encoraged you to pursue your ideal career path (take CFA exam or take MBA courses).

      Cons

      Compared to other financial companies, its base salary is not very competitive. Neither is the bonus... That's the only reason which let down people.

      Great culture, not competitive compensation

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      IT is not Morningstar's Core Competency

      It manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits (for far less pay), such as sabbatical, free drinks, socializing Casual, laid-back environment Great location Friendly people Fair bonus compensation

      Cons

      Stay out of IT, they don't know what they're doing. Senior management is not technical and becomes hostile when inefficiencies or problems are pointed out to them. Management pretends to have an open door policy but I did not see this in practice. The new building is evidence that M* favors style over function.
