Pros

The company is consistently looking for ways to expand their business, diversify their portfolio, promote from within, recruit top employees, and increase diversity in the workplace. One of the top 100 companies to work for within the Chicago area.

Cons

The company has a very lean workforce which helps it remain profitable but also creates a high volume workload for existing employees and therefore greater challenges to maintain work/life balance.

Pros

Discover is a good company. The staff overall seems to be very professional and qualified. However what matters is what group you're in and whom you'll be interacting with most of the time. Nice campus. Diverse staff.

Cons

Poor group culture. Inexperienced micromanager. Inefficient process with resistance to change. Lack of work/ life balance. Very hierarchical culture. Poor compensation - Definitely negotiate any offer from the start or you'll be stuck. Be sure you understand the group culture before accepting an offer because it may be drastically different from whats advertised by HR and the company website
