Pros

1) Short hours 2) Good, comprehensive benefits 3) Funny, interesting people 4) An excellent vacation policy ("take as much as you want" officially, but unofficially four weeks)

Cons

Some managers are not mindful of the implicit trade-off of Morningstar's compensation scheme: lower pay for leisure time. If you have a slave-driving manager, Morningstar's leisure-time advantage is nil; you might as well just quit.

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.
