I recently got an offer from discover Financial for a SWE position. Does Discover allow employees to work remotely? Heard that they are going to a rto hybrid model mid April 2023 onwards. TC: 120k YOE: 5 #wfh #tech #software
As far as I know they are remote itself. But I am not there anymore.
Yes, it’s mandatory for RTO from April 17th, if you are within 50miles around the Riverwoods and Houston. Try to negotiate the offer more what are the numbers they have provided ?
Oh duck!
That company was unironically the most toxic I’ve worked for. I hope your experience is better.
Really? How come? Toxic then amz?
Which value stream were you path of ?
Even i got offer frm discover. It is fully remote role
Hey! How long after your final interview did you get an offer? I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks for now
If your role was offered to you explicitly for remote positions before April 17th and you are not in Houston or Chicago area you are good. Otherwise you are required to come to office minimum of 3 days a week starting April 17th. Where are you based out of?
I’m confirming this statement. 100% accurate.
Yeah everyone in the Chicago metro area
Everybody is supposed to go in. Unless you have a VP approval on your exceptions. From what I hear, they are going real strict on exceptions. Not sure how long this will last.
I wonder why they waited so long to force hybrid. All the other companies that forced hybrid did it last year
I wonder how employees feel about it. There were a lot of questions and apprehensions. Especially since it's going to be extremely hard to get career growth if you're remote.
I’m in an interview process with Discover right now. I’m pretty sure it’s for a remote role. They know I don’t live in Chicago and haven’t mentioned that I would have to work hybrid or move there. And the job posting said remote. Sad to see that they’re trying to force hybrid for existing employees.
So the new joiners can still work remotely right?
Double check.. Bcz they said going forward they’ll hiring within Chicago Houston metro area.
Ask him to give you in written with Director of HR in copy ..that’s how you will have written statement
How long after your final interview did you hear back on the offer?
Mine was a contract to hire position so heard back after 2 days. Not sure if it’s the same for fte roles.
I think it was 1 week for me

You should ask your hiring manager or recruiter this.
I asked the head hunter through which I got the offer. He said mid April. So just wanted to check with existing Discover employees as well.
