Pros

Generous PTO and Benefits. Good campus and fitness center. If work-life balance far exceeds other factors, then you will be happy at Discover. However, you give up quite a lot in career progression and ultimately compensation as the years progress.

Cons

Very limited career progression. Poor communication about performance and goals. Goals are an afterthought and usually completed when required for mid-year or end of year review requirements. The company seems to be fixated into recruiting from the "outside". Like somehow there are always really good people that might be out of work for some reason that we can recruit into at least one position lower than they should be in. Example, investment bankers being laid off.
