Pros

Good PTO, nice benefits, good training, nice campus, fitness center,.

Cons

Not innovative, little flexibility for remote work, very slow decision making, bad bonus structure. Since the new CEO took over, there were many leadership changes whichi in turn forced good long term employees out. Now it is utter chaos. A lot of progress over the years has been reversed. The head of HR comes from McKinsey. He is a management consultant who does not have a clue about managing people and how to run business in real life. The head of our department does not spend time with employees. A lot of emphasis now on Compliance, but I don't think they hired the right people. New management is siloed and detached from reality. Overall, Company culture is eroding.

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.
