Discover named a top IT workplace

RIVERWOODS — Discover Financial Services ranked No. 25 among large organizations on the 2016 IDG's Computerworld “100 Best Places to Work in Information Technology” list.

It marks the 13th year Discover has been recognized as a best place to work for IT professionals.

“Discover actively promotes an open and innovative culture — we want our employees to love where they work,” said Glenn Schneider, executive vice president and chief information officer at Discover. “With access to the latest tools and technologies, our employees have the ability to shape what is happening in our company and deliver innovative products and services for our customers.”

Computerworld ranks the top 100 workplaces for technology professionals by conducting extensive research of benefits offered by small, mid-size and large organizations. Factors like benefits, career development opportunities, training and retention, and IT workers' feedback factors heavily in determining placement on the list.

“The organizations on this year's Best Places to Work in IT list excel at embracing innovation, collaboration and openness in the IT work environment,” says Scot Finnie, editor-in-chief of Computerworld. “In a competitive market for tech talent, these outstanding employers are able to attract highly skilled IT pros by offering great benefits and flexible work options, new learning opportunities, access to cutting-edge technologies and challenging, business-critical projects.”

Discover offers employees benefits like 25 days of paid time-off, tuition reimbursement, performance-based incentive plans, options for financial learning, on-site gym facilities, healthy food options and the flexibility to work remotely. They also have nine internal Employee Resource Groups, which contribute to Discover's priority to drive diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
