Discover has made the list for the past seven years, moving up from No. 73 in 2008 to No. 31 this year.
"Ranking in the top 50 of this impressive list of companies said a lot about Discover's commitment to all of its employees, not just those of us in IT," said Glenn Schneider, senior vice president and chief information officer. "I have great confidence in our technology group, the talent of our workforce, and our ability to successfully deliver solutions that produce bottom-line impact. With our dedicated workforce, we are building a brighter future for our customers, our shareholders and for the employees of Discover."
The annual Best Places to Work in Information Technology list is based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. In addition, Computerworld extensively surveyed IT workers at the companies, including 250 at Discover, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.
"To be among the Best Places to Work in IT, it's not enough just to seek out and hire the most talented IT people, offer them competitive pay and provide great benefits," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "The organizations that made this year's Best Places to Work list sustain a dynamic work environment in which IT professionals keep their hands on the latest technologies and work on projects that are business critical. In the months and years ahead, IT is going to become a key accelerator of business growth."
Discover Financial Services is a credit card issuer and electronic payment services company.
