Pros

You get to work from home. Benefits like other big companies the usual.

Cons

At first they will tell you the normal jobs you know receiving calls helping customers. Then they will give you jobs offers at other position and they don't tell you the whole thing until you are clearly applied for what's going to be due. It's they call it senior specialist. Which this is kind of a deceiving because for customers seeing a specialist they think it's a manager position where all the other agents things that's you are one agent that handle everything. So you will get transfer from all over the apartments like fraud, security verification, dispute, delinquent account, products, web support, supervise a call, you can name it you get this transfer calls from all over the place. Now when we first sign up for it on the descriptions that they indicate it's just say you will work with two additional credit cards. Nothing mentioning that you will be at the dumpster of the company. When We complain about or let them know about it they're saying that they'll fix it. But none has been done. New agent transfer calls and let let us know that oh yeah they were told that they need to transfer any call that they don't feel comfortable or understand to you. Which they are trained to do that to just dumped and emotionally damaged you while you're working. If this is what they're telling you to quit but they don't want to fire you right then and there. Then they're making a hell of a good job doing it. So I would say discover would be the worst company to work with if you're trying to work for a good company.

Pros

One of the most significant advantages of interning at Discover is the opportunity to work with massive, high-stakes financial datasets within a highly collaborative and mentorship-driven culture. Because the company manages millions of consumer accounts, you gain direct experience in how data-driven decisions impact risk management, credit modeling, and fraud detection in real time. The environment is known for being supportive of early-career professionals, offering structured learning paths and exposure to modern cloud-native infrastructures like AWS. Furthermore, the company’s strong focus on work-life balance and a clear pipeline for converting interns to full-time roles makes it an excellent "foot in the door" for anyone looking to build a career in fintech.

Cons

On the other hand, the primary drawback often stems from the inherent bureaucracy and heavy regulation of the banking industry, which can lead to slower project lifecycles and "red tape." You may find that a significant portion of your time is spent on repetitive data cleaning and maintaining legacy reporting systems rather than building the cutting-edge predictive models you might expect. Additionally, because Discover is a massive organization, your scope of work can sometimes feel siloed, making it difficult to see the end-to-end impact of your analysis across different departments. Finally, the current landscape of the industry means that internal shifts or large-scale corporate restructuring can occasionally lead to uncertainty regarding team directions or long-term project stability.
