Pros

HQ location is good if you don't live in city. Vacation policy is generous. Move towards working remotely is well supported by technology enhancements.

Cons

MAJOR facility space issues. No space to sit so open floor plan with bean bag chairs, no parking spaces, drive around for 1/2 hour to find a spot. No meeting rooms available to support "agile process", being pushed so hard. Wait in line an hour for subpar, overpriced lunch. One project that has gone on for 7 years and is bleeding money just sweeps up resources of all kinds to make a date so it can be perceived as success and CIO can be listed in magazine as successful "Alternate Facts" in Discover world. Complete gender bias against women. Passive women are promoted to provide superficial appearance of equality. Women that speak out about issues are considered "not team player". Same sentence spoken by male is "constructive feedback". Reduce overwhelming, government line bureaucratic processes that have built up over time & you wouldn't need DMS. People could get 100% more work done by simply eliminating paperwork, unnecessary meetings.

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.
