Discover has once again been recognized by IDG’s Computerworld as one of
the 2019 Best Places to Work in IT, marking the 16th year the company
has been recognized as a best place to work for information technology
professionals.
Discover ranks No. 9 among large companies on this year’s list.
Computerworld developed the list based on extensive feedback from IT
professionals at small, midsize and large companies. The evaluation is
based on company offerings in categories such as benefits, career
development, training and retention.
“At Discover, we recognize the importance of a culture that embraces
collaboration and creativity,” said Glenn Schneider, executive vice
president and chief information officer at Discover. “We offer growth
opportunities and promote a healthy work-life balance for our technology
employees to enable them to deliver innovative and customer-driven
capabilities.”
“The market for IT talent remains very tight, and employers continue to
focus on finding and holding on to the best people,” said Computerworld
executive editor Ken Mingis. “Our 2019 survey shows again that the Best
Places to Work in IT are dynamic organizations that provide top pay and
a broad array of programs and benefits designed to make them attractive
places to work. Many show that they have a commitment to training, to
diversity and to improved communication and teamwork.”
Discover continues to provide a competitive benefits package to all of
its employees including tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave,
generous 401(k) match and PTO package, commuter benefits, and a flexible
work environment. The company provides various training programs to help
foster career growth. In addition, through the Discover College
Commitment program launched last year, eligible employees have the
opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree at no cost to select
universities and programs on day one of employment. The company also has
ten Employee Resource Groups, which provides tools and resources to help
employees connect, build communities at work, and foster an inclusive
environment.
