Pros

You'll never find better people to work with and collaborate with. A lot of folks are truly engaged and want to see the teams succeed.

Cons

Management!!! Some of the most incompetent people end up in leadership roles. The culture used to be great, now it's extremely toxic with no direction on how to get to the corporate goal line. Pay is eh, the perks aren't as big a draw anymore since they forced return to office mandates. AI is not a fix-it tool...and they demand everyone use it despite smart people advising them its a terrible strategy.

Pros

Honestly amazing, the pay is amazing, 150,000+ for an analyst, with great benefits and the ability to work from home.

Cons

Hard to beat another firm that will pay 150,000 base for junior employees. People often forget to respond or follow up in the company but just stay patient.

Pros

Honestly, the only pro is the flexible pto policy.

Cons

Morningstar hooks new grads up with this program where they keep you answering the phone on customer support for years without actually learning skills or rotating you to new roles as promised. Once you are finally able to rotate, no roles will want you because you don’t have any experience doing anything other than answering the phone for clients. And after, you don’t qualify for others companies new grad jobs. I don’t recommend this program to anyone. It is not what they advertise it to be.
