Okay For A Couple Years

Programmer/analyst
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Casual dress code, young employees (many fresh out of college) you also get free lunch. Benefits are good and management is flexible with personal time.

Cons

Really uncompetitive salary even though the company desires to attract top talent, and an unrealistic expectation that you will go the extra mile and give up your personal time. The company rarely gives a good raise but they try to keep you on the hook with tiny yearly raises. Management could care less when you give your two week's notice no matter what you've done for the company or how long you've been there -- they know a new round will be graduating college next year. This is not a good place to grow your career because you will start very low and there is no room to get on a good team. Like 98% of us, you will sit down infront of a legacy system which is boring to maintain.

Marathon was a great entry-level job for me and gained some very useful skills in 3 years.

Programmer/analyst
Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay for your lunch and a decent company holiday party. Other than that, I don't have anything positive to say about them or their management.

Cons

There are no real incentives to keep you motivated and goal-oriented. The days are 8.5 hours and you only get 3-4 holidays days off, 3 sick days, and 2 weeks vacation. The starting salary and pay increases are not competitive. $35k starting salary as a full-time programmer is not close to what a programmer should be paid, especially for the amount of work Marathon asks of you.
