:30 BE INSPIRED TO GROW

Discover inspires me to grow in many ways. I do love where I'm at and I love my position but I don't want to stay there forever. I want to stay with the company but there's so much room for growth within Discover. With the different resources they have, especially the College Commitment, there's really essentially no excuse that you can't get that degree and grow within the company. Not only do they care about their employees. It cares about them succeeding, getting a degree, and growing. They're just a great company in general.

Meet Meghana

Intern in EPP

Describe your professional growth journey here at Discover. I think Discover has definitely provided me the opportunity to grow professionally over the course of the weeks. The virtual experience gave me insights to the vast complexities of work in the field of software engineering and allowed me to reach out to others and make professional connections. The process of giving presentations and demonstrations to stakeholders also allowed me to develop different skillsets, alongside those developed through coding. See Jobs
Meet Phil

Business Technology (Payment Services), Technical Lead

What are some of the benefits of working here? Is there anything that surprised you? Not sure where to start! The benefits are seemingly endless, with a handful of both internal and external schemes ranging from decent private healthcare to product discounts. One of the best things about Discover that I found the most surprising is the flexibility to adjust your working arrangements to suit your day-to-day life - the organization realizes that a happy workforce means a more productive workforce.

Meet Sneha

Senior Quality Engineer, Enterprise Payments Platform - Settlements

How does Discover allow you to be true to yourself? Discover values and culture is the one thing that pulled me in. I really like the way discover behaviors are demonstrated. For any situation or dead blocks in meeting rooms I have seen simply adhering to the Discover behaviors helps to reach the goals. See Jobs
Meet Andrew

International Payments Strategy Director, Global Products & Pricing

Describe a stand out experience you’ve had while working here. Each year Discover invests to bring together colleagues from around the world for a week of inspirational presentations and networking opportunities recognizing the importance of connecting people in a highly collaborative manner. It's a significant investment but pays huge dividends in encouraging effective project participation across the miles to bring superior solutions to our Partners. See Jobs
Meet Giampaolo

Senior Manager, Global Partner Operations (Payments)

What would you say to someone who wants to work here? From my experience in the industry, the organization is very focused on supporting all its employees, it has great growth plans and the future looks very orange :) See Jobs
Meet Andreas

Summer Intern

What sets Discover apart as a company and as a workplace for you? For me there are 2 things; the work environment and the technology. Discover pushes you to be true to yourself and develop your skills, whether professional or any other skills. The other part I like about Discover is the technology and innovation throughout the company. Discover might be a financial services company in the books, but in my mind it's a technology company above all! See Jobs
