Pros

Coworkers are friendly. Sabbatical. Nice office space.

Cons

Low pay. Dysfunctional management: since there are no formal HR procedures to follow, managers are allowed to make unethical decisions to their employees. Double standard and unclear expectations.

Pros

Morningstar kept having issues of keep good employees

Cons

Starting with interview process, Morningstar failed at starting point finding good employees. The inventor of this process posted a fake picture of doing recruiting job. Most of interviewers do not know what they talk about, not technically in depth to filter, as a result, people with good skills were not hired, either because they can not see the potential, or just because they do not like them. people with connections got hired. Because of the leadership lack of direction, good people kept leaving company. Many people are looking outside. Current IT leadership is worst in the history of Morningstar. Some bad managers got to stay just because they are good at making people happy.

Thank you for your feedback. Have you been an interviewer? We rely heavily on technologists to ensure we're making the best hiring decisions. Each interview team is comprised of 2-3 technologists in addition to others who interview candidates for cultural fit. Candidates are hired based on the team's recommendation. Interview teams are usually rotated on a quarterly basis. We look at candidates from many angles, and if we don't hire a candidate, it's because the team recommended against it. Discussions from my own skip-level meetings and results from recent internal sentiment surveys do not suggest that our current technology leadership is the worst in Morningstar history. That said, we are not perfect and are always looking for ways to improve. If you are not being heard by your immediate manager, the door is open for you to speak to others without fear of retribution. As I've said before, if you are in a senior position (like your title suggests), it's very important for you to contribute to the changes you want to see. You have invested more than 8 years of your career in Morningstar. There must be a reason you stay. What do you think you could do to help?

Pros

I would say that I've worked with great people, and the culture is good. The Sabbatical benefit is also a great benefit.

Cons

Low pay Management cares more about maintaining large margins rather than hiring enough staff or reasonable pay Sinking Ship M
