High five! Thanks for your positive feedback and for doing your part to make the Technology team here at Morningstar even stronger. I obviously don't know what you work on, but as you know, Morningstar has built and acquired a great many products over the years. Most were built using the best practices and technologies of their day, so you will find some older products with technology stacks that are a bit long in the tooth. Most of the newer products and the ones being modernized, however, are being developed using modern frameworks and with a cloud-first approach as we begin to leverage more infrastructure in Amazon's data centers via Amazon Web Services. We're always looking at total compensation and benefits to make sure we're competitive globally. Beyond compensation though, there are many other reasons why Morningstar has been recognized as a Great Place to Work. Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback and your perspective of sales at Morningstar. Our sales team has a history of high retention and satisfaction – evidence that others on the team, like you, recognize Morningstar as a great place to establish and sustain a sales career. We believe this speaks to much more than just a competitive comp plan (although we appreciate that you liked it). Morningstar offers a work environment that is open, collaborative, and high energy. As sales people, we benefit from a great brand that is highly regarded and respected in the markets we serve-- our clients and prospective clients genuinely want to talk to us. We center all of the work and activities around our core mission “to create great products that help investors reach their goals.” And most of us find that to be quite inspiring. Over the past year, we've made a lot of progress on our "sales operations" support behind the team. I'm confident we'll get that comp plan finalized earlier for 2017!
