The company also runs products and businesses such as PitchBook, Sustainalytics, and DBRS Morningstar alongside Morningstar-branded research and analytics.

Locations and presence
Morningstar operates across 40-plus offices worldwide, with a major hub in Chicago and a long list of regional offices across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Many roles follow a hybrid setup with regular in-office collaboration, commonly framed as at least three days per week, with some postings indicating four days in-office in most locations.
Morningstar offers clear, recurring early-career entry points through both internships and a structured two-year graduate program, with plenty of detail on mentoring, training, and early ownership of work. Hiring transparency is better than average because the company publishes a process outline and promises closure, but candidate feedback suggests the experience can be inconsistent. Pay looks broadly market-aligned for early roles and internships, yet public salary-range transparency and outcomes data like conversion rates and retention are limited.
