Pros
1) Good work life balance 2) Decent benefits 3) Pay to COL ratio is good (but that’s for a reason)
Cons
1) Rotten management: Inept management that will micromanage you to the bone just to feel like they’re actually doing work 2) Zero diversity: The office and surrounding city has zero diversity and culture. If you like being surrounded by conservative boomers then this is the place for you. 3) Depressing city: I mean what were these people thinking? I wouldn’t wish living in Findlay on my worst enemy. Seriously, the entire city shuts down at 8 PM, has maybe 1 crappy token ethnic restaurant for each cuisine, and is surrounded by miles of cornfields for 50 miles+ in any direction. 4) IT Culture is inept: The fish rots from the head down, the CIO to middle management have no idea of modern technology unless legacy VB.Net and C# is your idea of emerging technology. 5) Poor talent retainment: Every year these fools bring in interns and try and talk up Marathon to them to convince them to come back because no other Fortune 50 company in their right mind would place their HQ in a rural rust belt town like they have so they act like they’re the biggest game in town when in reality they’re the only game in town (and for a reason). The result is they get rarely any interns that return for another internship or full-time, and the only ones that do either have no other options, or they go to school in a conservative rural area themselves.
