Pros

Discover is a good company. The staff overall seems to be very professional and qualified. However what matters is what group you're in and whom you'll be interacting with most of the time. Nice campus. Diverse staff.

Cons

Poor group culture. Inexperienced micromanager. Inefficient process with resistance to change. Lack of work/ life balance. Very hierarchical culture. Poor compensation - Definitely negotiate any offer from the start or you'll be stuck. Be sure you understand the group culture before accepting an offer because it may be drastically different from whats advertised by HR and the company website

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.
