Discover® Recognized as a Best Place to Work for IT Professionals for Twenty-First Year

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.
