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.

Pros

The work environment is excellent, with a close-knit team atmosphere. The days are fast paced and very challenging. Marathon has tons of opportunity and freedom for personal growth. The company does very well as a whole, and we are taken care of when it comes to salary, bonuses, etc. Free lunch is also a nice plus.

Cons

Company is growing fast which comes with its challenges. Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to get things done, but management is working hard at hiring good people and growing the company.

Thanks for the feedback! We've taken your advice and have been hiring steadily throughout the summer. We even have 3 new programmers starting this month alone! We appreciate your comments, and look forward to continuing to grow the company with your help.

Pros

I started working for Marathon 9 months ago and think it was the best decision I could have made. Marathon has all of the things you hope a company will have when you are job searching. Here are a few.. Salary & Benefits: No complaints. They treat their employees well. They even absorbed the increase of cost in our healthcare this year so that employee payments wouldn't go up. Management: They are available and easy to talk to. They create a friendly environment where I feel that I can tell them my opinions and ideas and they listen and respond. During my first review, in addition giving me feedback on how I was doing, they asked me how they were doing and asked how they could improve. I thought that was awesome. Career Development: I haven’t been here too long, but they have already invested in me. I have participated in leadership training courses, and been able to attend seminars so that I can continue learning. Culture/Environment: The dress code is causal and jeans are okay! The environment is friendly, and everyone seems to be happy working here. The office manager always has something fun planned for the employees to participate in if they want to like the Biggest Loser competition, Halloween costume contests, Charity 5ks, Blue Claws games, etc. It gives employees the opportunity to have a little fun and get to know each other better, which forms a nice, friendly environment. Free Lunch: Obviously, it’s awesome to not have to pack a lunch!

Cons

I really like working here and don't have anything bad to say about the company.
