Five years ago it was a good place to work. - Senior Technical Analyst Marriott International Employee Review

If you asked me 5 years ago Marriott was a good place to work in the IT field. Now after a few years in this place you will start to see all the dirt that was being swept under the run. The pay scale that Marriott uses as an industry measurement is from the 50's. They will never be able to compete with other companies out there. Their motto is to bring in lower IT talent burn them out and once they realize they are worth more than they are currently being paid bring in another junior type IT person to repeat the process. Instead of Work/Life it’s Work/Work from 7 day 60 hour work weeks to Holiday mandatory work days. With the lack of talent in the groups if you’re a senior person with skill you’re going to get hammered with the workload that just increases and increases. With the heavy workload, low pay and political nonsense it can take years off your life.
