Morningstar – “Great place to work, if you don't mind getting a smaller paycheck than your friends in financial industry.”

Great corporate culture. Relax and friendly. Everybody is nice and helpful. Great hour (9-5) for most of the time. Good benefits. Great vacation policy (most people take more than 15 business days off each year).
Cons
Pay, pay and pay. Mstar is so underpaying its employees. I can't think of anything else bad about this company.
Advice to Senior Management
It would be nice to be more honest about what Mstar does in recruiting. Cut the "we are an independent investment research firm" crap. Mstar is a financial data provider. No one buys Mstar's equity research/fund research. They get it as part of Mstar's license data, which is the largest revenue source of the company. I mean, I don't mind working for an information providing financial service firm, but just don't pretend to be a real financial research firm.
