Pros

Most of the team members are friendly

Cons

- They work in agile, but the company removed the Scrum Master role. So, the PO works as a Product Owner, Scrum Master, Project Manager, and needs to display Product Manager skills if you want to advance with the organization. - They work in water-gile. No PI Planning, but you will meet five times a week to discuss the same thing and receive updates. Why!? This is essentially waterfall. - Remote employees have 0 opportunity to advance after level 8. This isn't public knowledge but I believe this will make most remote team members resign and the company can avoid layoffs. They truly want everyone back in the office. - Most of the leaders didn't earn the position. They received promotions and they are learning as they go. As an individual contributor, you can feel it. Accepting this position was probably the biggest mistake of my career.

Pros

Good benefits with the option to work remotely

Cons

I had a terrible team leader, she never responded to emails, calls from her team. Every other week we had to experience a new team due to her negligence, “cough, cough” excuse me, her illnesses. If you are on a call and receive assistance from a manager, and the information given is incorrect you will receive a compliance(can lead to termination) and no consequences are given to that employee that has provided incorrect information. I received an email stating that employees CANNOT work extra hours, imagine a billion dollar industry denying employees to make extra money that have kids, bills etc. I was laid off by my team leader, whom I’ve only met with 3 times and each time she was uncomfortable and rushed through the meeting, until she told me I was being fired. I was fired for being over my pto 1 hour, forget the time and energy I’ve put into this company with 100% rating from customers. There is no room here for a black female who happens to be homosexual within this industry. Fortunately, I was able to be a groundbreaking employee whose mom just passed away and brought new clients to this god forsaken company. Thank you for allowing me to catapult into a better situation.

Pros

They offer a lot of perks for being an employee Their campus is pretty cool They offer tons of extra activities in campus for employees Lots of incentive to new hires

Cons

Discover DOES NOT act with what they preach on HR level despite all the little HR harassment classes you must take. They motivates you to report whatever strange behavior you feel from either colleagues or management, however, when you do, they WILL try to brush that off and asks you over and over again, in every call, WHAT would you like them to do? If you do end up suggesting to them to be moved to another team due to management harassment they will avoid doing it and will try to win you by exhaustion. WATCH OUT! Do NOT feel intimidated. One last thing. In higher director roles, you will not see that much diversity. It's sort of a white boys club.
