Discover reviews

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.

Leadership was terrible. Everyone is out for themselves climbing the corporate ladder. People constantly took credit for my work. They make it seem like they care about their people but anytime you ask for something like a flexible work arrangement which is in the policy it gets rejected. My bonus was frequently cut due to others not fulfilling goals even if I exceeded mine. Management changes so often that you constantly have to build a new relationship and prove yourself. The people that are promoted are typically the “yes m’am” people. They just agree with everything leadership tells them with little innovation or individual thought. Interviewing internally was terrible. Very often no one would ever get back to you or give any feedback. The company really has gotten mush worse in the last few years. Many talented people are leaving and finding that Discover is no longet the great place it once was. There are pockets of good leadership and good departments but with the rotations you never know who you’ll get next. The worst thing would be that leadership would make major decisions without consulting with the front line employees or getting any feedback and make bad decisions. You just end up feeling like you don’t matter, the decision is out of your hands anyways. Also, you can do a hundred things right, and not hear about it since your leadership takes all credit for you but you make one mistake and you will see it in a review or PIP without any discussions. This place has become such a terrible dump. Run
