I applied through the Morningstar's website and uploaded a resume, cover letter, and a writing sample of an investment thesis for a specific company. Got an e-mail from HR a week or two later to setup a call with the director of the specific sector coverage. Turns out it was a call with the director and another equity analyst. The interview took only 30 minutes and I received mostly technical questions and my experience at my current role. After the phone interview, I was given a few days to complete a writing test online. I didn't have enough time to ask too many questions given the time constraint. Thought the interview was fair given the amount of technical knowledge needed to perform the responsibilities.

Home assessment was 2 hours test with four different sections. Not the easiest for somebody who has not been in the sector for a while. Furthermore they made a mistake and interviewed me for the wrong (more junior) position. I heard nothing untill I reached out again. They told me they would contact me the Monday after but that day never came. After two weeks I got a standard email saying my application would not go further. Very disappointing, lots of time wasted on them. To make things worse, I decided to subscribe for their equity research service. Well I ended up learning they have serious interface problems on the webpages which makes the service unaccessible. Speechless I tried many times again but I only learnt others had the same problem. I unsubscribed from the service.
