Not for the ambitious

Pros

Great benefits and perks, beautiful office space, flexible time off, sabbatical (in theory - I was never allowed to actually take mine).

Cons

Pay is lousy. You will have to fight tooth and nail for a raise. As a woman in the technology area, my ideas were frequently dismissed by my superiors who would later appropriate some version of my ideas as their own. My ambition was frequently dismissed as aggression. I finally left once I realized that I could either continue working my butt off, or I could mail it in like some of my other colleagues, and the outcome for me would be exactly the same.

Pros

The darkest time in Morningstar technology history

Cons

Since beginning, many employees were suspicious about CTO Mitch Shue's promotion. Now time has proved that the doubt is true. Enough trouble has been done. . A CTO who has no solid technical background. . A CTO knows only talk can solve all the problem. . A CTO never checked out a line of our github, either front end, or back end, or anything. A CTO who knows nothing about Git maybe. . Promoted many unqualified managers, who made us into big trouble. . Let go many good people, who are good at technical, but may not as good as good talker. Please stop being here just as a face and collect paycheck. Enough harm is done to us.

Morningstar Response

Wow! That is a harsh review. I'm sorry you feel that way. You mentioned me by name, so I feel especially compelled to respond. Please come talk to me about technology sometime. I have a long, well-documented history. Truthfully, my role as CTO is not to check out code from Bitbucket or to actually write code for that matter, but is instead to look after a global technology organization of over 1400 hardworking people. I have written plenty of code in my career. I can truthfully say that code I have written has generated revenue for decades and continues to do so for companies in my past. If you truly believe I have promoted many unqualified managers, your knowledge of how we are organized or how our organization works is incomplete or incorrect. Also, if you believe I have let many good people go, your knowledge is again incomplete or incorrect. I would love the opportunity to engage in a productive conversation with you to understand why you're so unhappy with me. Unfortunately, we cannot do it here. It would be better for you to come see me. I'm not going anywhere, so that might be a good option for you. Need to turn those red boxes into green ones. Something must be keeping you here, right?
