Morningstar reviews

Little flexibility, lack of transparency in your initial role, mediocre pay. If you're not looking to be in career focused on research or data, I would not work here. There are little positions available in human resources or marketing. On company holidays, the rest of the office has it off but support still has to come in to work. You have to request every meeting, have to input codes to go to the bathroom, and are in the role from anywhere between 9-18 months. They'll tell you it is a two year program but in reality it is three years. Program leadership is not receptive to new here negative feedback, and instead of helping you find a solution, they'll tell you that your personal needs are not as important as the business need. People here at large are satisfied with being average instead of working hard to be better.

Long work hours. Poor compensation. Managers who have no experience in business except for Morningstar. The company is a case of passive-aggressive personality disorder on a corporate scale. The best way to work here is by always managing upward (while ignoring your nominal duties), coming up with great, creative ideas that are impossible to implement, then giving the job of implementation to someone else, becoming Joe M's personal friend so you can have a C-level position in a field for which you have no training. By the way, don't believe the HR story about flexible leave policies. Yes, you can technically take as much vacation as you like; no one does. The people I know who still work there work very hard and suffer under severe pressure to produce while not receiving the resources necessary to produce quality work. Not having a vacation policy combined with strong social pressure means that you will likely not take much time off. The company has found very effective ways of exploiting white collar workers.
