Pros

Not the money, not the management

Cons

So many cons , where to start. This company has management that does not care about the company’s money. They risk customers identity only a daily. They give fraudsters your information and if you try to do the right thing they get rid of you. Short term goals to try to make their numbers look good at the customers expense, by letting fraudsters order cards and use cards and get information on the customer just to save time on the call. They care more about their call time than your personal information. Before I left I also noticed them trying to pin fraud on true customers. They call fraudsters future customers! Their fraudsters are current ones and they will never change to paying ones! What kind of nonsense is this? The absurdity to their logic is scary. The fact that the higher management puts temps in charge of your security should be illegal. The temps last a minute and give your information away. They even compromised the president of the companies information and made light of it! Don’t trust them with your money!

Pros

One of the most significant advantages of interning at Discover is the opportunity to work with massive, high-stakes financial datasets within a highly collaborative and mentorship-driven culture. Because the company manages millions of consumer accounts, you gain direct experience in how data-driven decisions impact risk management, credit modeling, and fraud detection in real time. The environment is known for being supportive of early-career professionals, offering structured learning paths and exposure to modern cloud-native infrastructures like AWS. Furthermore, the company’s strong focus on work-life balance and a clear pipeline for converting interns to full-time roles makes it an excellent "foot in the door" for anyone looking to build a career in fintech.

Cons

On the other hand, the primary drawback often stems from the inherent bureaucracy and heavy regulation of the banking industry, which can lead to slower project lifecycles and "red tape." You may find that a significant portion of your time is spent on repetitive data cleaning and maintaining legacy reporting systems rather than building the cutting-edge predictive models you might expect. Additionally, because Discover is a massive organization, your scope of work can sometimes feel siloed, making it difficult to see the end-to-end impact of your analysis across different departments. Finally, the current landscape of the industry means that internal shifts or large-scale corporate restructuring can occasionally lead to uncertainty regarding team directions or long-term project stability.
