bonuses used to be really good, tuition reimbursement used to be really good, but no longer - Senior Underwriter Discover Employee Review

The Discover personal loans department is new in the last couple of years, and it seems like measurements are dependent on high/low probability of luck. An UW needs to offer loans to a number of people, and try to finalize the loan to get credit for their work. Seems like there is a lot of pressure to offer loans to persons with high to very high debt to income ratios, or other characteristics that contribute to a greater likelihood for defaulting on a loan. Therefore, it can be very hard to feel good about the work you are doing.
