Discover financial

Anyone got any experience with discover? It’s their downtown chicago office. recruiter has given a comp estimate and it’s pretty competitive. This is for a product job. Wondering about wlb, culture... People have commented about visa/amex before, but never discover so its slightly unknown.

What's the compensation against YOE?

Amazon oclue Apr 7, 2019

I was making 69k with 5% bonus which was roughly 3k. So 72k with 5 yoe total

That's so-so for Chicago. 5 yoe is generally 85k in Chicago according to several friends.

My first job out of school was there as a Risk Associate. I enjoyed it but that was about a decade ago so I can't speak for it now. The Chicago campus is beautiful.

Interviewed there for Lead Cloud Engineer. Didn't get it, but the office is cool,open space, people seem decent. And they're doing some cool stuff tech wise, considering they're a financial company.

They paid 105k+bonus(7%) for 6yoe in Business Technology in HQ office for Paygrade 7/senior associate. Pay was okay, wlb is good. 25days pto to start with and goes up with yoe and wfh(depends on team). For PM Role I would say go for it. For technical roles, big no. Management does not listen to its developers, legacy technology. It is a good place to retire defintely not for some one who wants to grow in technology.

I agree with most comments here. The work life balance and vacation time is great along with some other benefits. Pay is on the lower side and the work environment may seem a little laid back to some people. Great job stability so you do see people you've been around for years together which may or may not be a bad thing.

Definitely not a bad thing, they value loyalty and treat employees like they should be treated!

And the nice thing is every quarter your bonus category changes!

Depend on which department you working in. Analytics could be very TOXIC depending on your team.
