Pros
Focus on innovation - they are becoming a hospitality tech company focused on customer experience. Some of the people are nice, smart, and effective. Hotel discounts for associates.
Cons
Once Marriott bought Starwood, those coming from Starwood have been given priority for jobs over incumbent Marriott employees ("associates"). With the reorganization as the company integrates both, many original Marriott associates have been let go in multiple rounds of layoffs. Original business units have been in chaos as they seek to staff positions empty by those they released. Need to plan more effectively. In addition, some of the internal organizations do not get along and compete with one another which can lead to issues for associates. This is a political environment. Network matters. There are also many consultants running around - the culture from the big consulting firms has permeated the company leading to focus on data driven results as opposed to quality in people.
