Foundry's Computerworld has named Discover a 2025 Best Place to
Work in IT. This annual award recognizes the top organizations that
challenge their technology employees while providing great benefits
and upskilling opportunities.
Now in its twenty-first year being recognized, Discover ranks
no. 27 among large organizations with over 5,000 employees on the
Best Places to Work in IT list. The list is compiled based on a
comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in
categories such as benefits, career development, DEI, future of
work, training and retention. In addition, the rankings are
reviewed and vetted by a panel of industry experts.
“Fostering an innovative environment that attracts, engages, and
retains top tech talent in an increasingly competitive field
remains one of our top business priorities,” said Jason Strle,
executive vice president and chief information officer at Discover.
“This recognition is a testament to our continued investments to
support and develop our tech talent through trainings,
certifications, mentorship opportunities, our internal Discover
Technology Academy, and our external eminence program.”
“This year’s focus on AI has created demand for new skills in
AI, data analytics, and cloud. The good news: Leading companies
recognize that these opportunities for business innovation also
create new opportunities for internal IT talent,” said Barbara
Call, global director of content strategy at Foundry. “Our winning
companies are committed to keeping their tech workforce happy and
engaged – which means going beyond raises, perks, and promotions to
offer opportunities for upskilling and training on cutting-edge and
emerging technologies.”
The company’s award submission this year highlights the benefits
of the Discover Technology Academy (DTA) and our commitment to
DE&I. The Discover Technology Academy allows technologists to
strengthen their craft, elevate their careers, build their
communities and innovate better. Technologists at Discover have the
option to join one or more of the company’s employee resource
groups, serve on the IT org’s DE&I Council to help advance
DE&I, and participate in a variety of volunteer
initiatives.
