Pros
Benefits and advancement opportunities. You get a lot of responsibility right away at Morningstar, and it is a meritocracy; they will advance less experienced people, if they are truly capable. Also, the 401K and health benefits are amazing, there is a wonderful sabbatical policy (6 weeks paid consecutive vacation every 4 years), there is no vacation policy but you take at least 3 weeks off during the year, AND they pay for 80% of your higher education tuition.
Cons
Salaries are quite low compared to other similar companies. Also, they say that titles don't matter here, but they really do. There is a hierarchy, but management pretends as if it doesn't exist, so it takes a while to figure out who is who in the company.
