Nice perks and pay. Frustrating seeing what gets prioritized.
Good pay. 401k matching is great.
Give up on Discover. It's not a winner.
They are genuinely nice people.
I think it's at the size where scalability matters and politics shouldn't be as prevalent.
The politics and promotion process is unfair and frustrating. The tech debt reminds me of an early-stage startup, yet the slick-talking blame deflectors who don't want to fix anything are the ones who get rewarded.
Inexperienced engineers write mountains of tech debt and change teams when they can't stand their own code, leaving the rest of us stretched thin, on the hook for their services. We need to raise the hiring bar and get support from engineering management instead of the blame flowing downhill.
