Morningstar Employee Perspectives

What habits or routines do you employ to develop your skills as an engineer? How does Morningstar encourage you to do so?

As a software engineer, I try to keep myself updated with the latest technologies and frameworks by taking online courses on Udemy or Coursera. I also have short-term goals that help me to stay focused and achieve my long-term goals. 

Morningstar provides free LinkedIn courses and $1,000 in assistance to attend seminars, conferences and online courses. In December 2022, an agile workshop helped me achieve a better understanding of the methodology and how best it can be applied within our teams.
 

Morningstar Employee Reviews

Being an MDP offers me the flexibility to change to a completely new role, in fact, I just moved into my current role from being a back-end developer on the Data Services team. It also provides me with the added benefit of pursuing side projects.

We believe in promoting from within, based on previous impact to the team. Whenever possible, we will stretch our employees to take on expanded roles that aligns with the career progression they are interested in.
