Pros

Relaxed hours, free training (online), $10 credit on first cafeteria meal, free parking. Downtown office where you can actually get permanent seating if you are good or new.

Cons

Former CIO stated they would NEVER do anything with Bitcoin or Venture Capital. He was there for 26 years. Discover Management System (DMS), their version of Agile took 3 years to rollout and they put Information Technology last. A lot of interns that are now Managers and Directors and are myopic about the industry and global business. Nepotism - couples, kids, cousins you name it. Far too much emphasis on the Riverwoods and not enough on global trends, tradeshows and innovation. They built a football field size data center 5 years ago and handed out awards

Pros

There are still great employees working at Discover despite looming layoffs due to Capital One acquisition.

Cons

Morale is at an all-time low, integration with Capital One has caused significant anxiety and confusion.
