I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morningstar (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Unprofessional and scattered. Applied online, was not followed up for a week and then recruiter emailed to get availability.
Was scheduled for phone interview with “hiring manager” who seemed to be disinterested and forced to conduct interview. They asked some irrelevant questions.
Thereafter, I was ghosted by this company.
I am glad I did not waste more than half hour with them. My overall experience was very disappointing, impersonal, cold and unprofessional.
It was smooth and quick with 3 rounds of interview, initial screening, then 1st round with a manager from mumbai, 2nd round from a manager and TL from the US team and last HR manager
I applied online. I interviewed at Morningstar (Mumbai) in Sep 2025
