Pros

Lots of flexibility when it comes to work-life balance, people are nice. It's in growth mode right now so pretty good job security.

Cons

Very "consensus-building." Read: political. Leadership is uninspired. No real direction or vision or purpose to the company. It feels like it just was spun out of Morgan Stanley and left with no reason to exist except to make money. Poor compensation compared to the competition. Process. It's like it's a small bank wanting to play big bank, so we get all the bureaucratic overhead without any of the benefits. While everyone is nice, it sometimes feels very homogenous. Everyone is a bro that never grew up and no real ambition (The exceptions make the rule).

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.
