Pros

There are a lot of nice, hardworking people to work with and plenty of opportunities to move to different positions. You start with plenty of Paid Time Off (25). Overall the job isn't too stressful.

Cons

For the most part, Discover is usually several years behind in the technologies that are used. The hassle of getting new technologies approved, no matter how small they may seem, is quite involved. Employees are rated on a bell curve amongst their team mates. If you are on a hardworking and successful team then not everyone will be properly recognized.

Pros

Encourage a work life balance atmosphere. Mostly wonderful people to work with and has a good amount of the younger generation working there. I have found people are generally willing to help you if you're having trouble understanding something. Great communication otherwise amongst peers. Also, They pay 90 percent of your tuition if you go back to school. Only downside is you have to stay with the company for 2 years after you finish, but that's understandable.

Cons

Salary is around average, maybe a little below. Room for growth gets tighter as you move up the food chain. No company is perfect and people will always find something to complain about. This company is as good as any and if anything, its better.
