Pros

The people and the environment. Fun casual atmosphere in the financial industry which is rare. Morningstar believes you should treat employees like adults not like factory workers. They can be flexible with working hours and holiday as long as you get your job done. This empowers employees and results in more productivity.

Cons

Benefits. I hear the benefits in Chicago are outstanding but in London they are sub-par. Poor pension match, maternity benefits are bare minimum and in America they get a sabatical which is denied in UK. Morningstar does not give annual salary reviews. I have worked here many years and never gotten an increase for inflation.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
