Headed in the Wrong Direction

Pros

Great facilities, decent benefits, some great people (although the number is dwindling by the day)

Cons

It's really sad to see the current direction of the company since the new CEO, Roger, took over - increased bureaucracy, more micro-management, terrible personnel decisions at the executive level, and missed goals across the company (translating to missed corporate earnings). It was hard to leave, but it started becoming increasingly clear that it wasn't the same company I joined over a decade ago. The executive leadership ranks have been gutted over the last several years with many high profile defections and retirements, and their replacements are just not at the same level. More damning is the complete lack of a coherent long term growth strategy. Over the last few months, I've had at least one or two Discover employees a week reach out looking for help to find a new job. Most of these folks are high performing mid and executive level employees who are seeing the writing on the wall and are running for the exits.
