Pros

Work from home during the pandemic

Cons

1) Low Pay 2) HR policies are arbitrary and often unclear 3) Management in india is disconnected from global management 4) Sometimes the reporting line is to offshore managers who have little idea about local policies and market standards and practices 5) In the name of pay equity, management has started to curtail benefits and salary hikes 6) Too many pivots, Global management does not want to share power and control to india management which leads to unclear and unrealistic expectations from global management that are bound to remain unfulfilled 7) The role you were hired for may become obsolete in a matter of months due to lack of strategic direction and you will be expected to resolve problems without any control or influence on the factors causing the problem 8) You will be setup for failure from day 1 and be made a scapegoat for problems that cannot be resolved even by your manager 9) This is not a startup yet it has all the classic problems of a startup, this is due the fact that the organization has grown quite inorganically

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.
