Pros

The company has great opportunities for giving back, volunteering, learning resources and flexible PTO

Cons

The middle management is incompetent. there are folks who have warming seats and doing nothing meaningful, value adding for over 25+ years. There is a team with not enough diversity. the leaders are more bossy and exhausting than inspiring.

Pros

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

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