Pros

Marriott offered employees incredible lucrative perks, in terms of discounted hotels, or in some cases free nights. Additionally, fellow employees were of the same cloth so to speak, understanding the goal and working together to accomplish it.

Cons

Salary was very low. Marriott prefers individuals without a degree to maintain low salaries. Individuals with a background in the armed forces do very well, the ability to not question decsions and just say "yes" is highly sought after. In terms of individuals who advance at Marriott, are individuals who have a track record of "not" asking questions, and doing exactly what they are told.

Pros

Some of the people at MI are friendly and outgoing. It's a big recognizable brand name to have on your resume.

Cons

It's an absolute mess of an org. The operating model is insane. Over 3,000 different teams providing IT support inconsistently. Finding support where you need it is nearly impossible. Most of the simplest most trivial things (lift and shifts, system builds, security reviews, etc.) take multiple quarters to do. This is not a proactive thoughtful group; reactive firefighting and hyper escalation is how anything gets done. The burn out risk is very high and leaders are all so isolated in silos that few know what is going on. Zero project prioritization occurs, so everything is urgent. They use SAFE Agile but it's an incredibly clumsy and isolated series of micro-deployments of the practice. Every day feels like a reinvention of a wheel where seemingly there is no known process for anything. Marriott is not a good place for high performing IT professionals to come to work. The culture and norms will eat a high performer alive since high performance is so contrary to the norm; the demand for the high performer will drive them into burn out and work life balance issues.
