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.
