| Is anyone familiar with Marriott? I saw what looks like an ideal opportunity in my field posted online today. I've been with one firm since 2000 and am feeling a little itchy. Have looked off and on for the last couple of years but this is the first listing that really intrigues me and feels like a true match. Would appreciate any insight into Marriott as an employer and the Bethesda HQ specifically. Thanks! |

| I worked there almost 20 years ago so my info is very dated. The company was pretty button down corporate back then - both Marriott brothers were still there - I think the older one has retired and the younger one didn't work much. People were pretty nice, bland, and there were lots of Mormons working there. The HQ had a nice cafeteria, gift store, impossible to gain access daycare, gym, banking, dry cleaning etc all there so you didn't have to leave. It was easy to walk over a bridge to Montgomery Mall though to get out. Pretty average benefits, pay raises were very big, not sure about how promotions went as I was in a unique position and worked closely with Mr. Marriott and corporate relations dept. I still have the stock I bought. It's pretty bureaucratic because of the size (worldwide). Much could have changed since then but I kind of doubt it as it's a pretty conservative place politically and as a work environment. |

| I don't know about HQ but I know at least six people who work for the company in various locations/capacities and all are very happy. I've been tracking opportunities with them since last spring with the hope something will open in my field. I work for a well regarded federal consulting company and would jump to Marriott in a second given the opportunity. |

| Thanks for the responses so far. Anyone else? On Glass Door the reviews seem very mixed. This would be for a director-level position. |

If you are white and a male, you are quite set!

| I know a female who works there in a fairly high up position. She is very talented, and had been treated VERY well by Marriott. |

| I'm trying to also get in on a director level job. Op any insights on comp? I'm thinking it's in the $250ish range? |

| I don't see any comp that high in online searches, but who knows? Surprising more people don't know about HQ first-hand. |

| No way you are going to get anywhere near 250 for a director level position. |

| For those in the know, what about inhouse counsel - what is pay range like there? |

| It can be very political, but generally it's a decent place to work. Great cafeteria, on site child care, etc. |

| I interviewed there and the hr person told me you can get rooms at their hotels and resorts for next to nothing. This includes Ritz Carltons. Wish I had gotten that job.... |

| PP - not true. You get a discount off the price but that's it. |

And Ritz Carlton will not even accept Marriott Rewards points.
