Marriott on list of 100 Best Companies to Work For
Bethesda-based Marriott International is ranked 38th on Fortune magazine’s 2020 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For.
Marriott was praised for its commitment to hiring veterans and for its leave policy.
“The global hotel chain is an excellent post for former military members, surpassing its goal of 1,000 veteran hires in 2019 with a total of 1,265,” its writeup on the list says. “A ‘family translator’ tool on the company’s careers site assists by breaking down which military skills sets align with available Marriott jobs.
“Family work/life balance is a perk for employees as well: Birth mothers receive up to 15 weeks of paid parental leave; fathers and adoptive parents receive 8 weeks plus additional unpaid time off.”
Four other companies in the metro D.C. area — all headquartered in Virginia — were on the list. Hilton in McLean ranked 1st, Capital One Financial in McLean ranked 24th, Custom Ink in Fairfax ranked 92nd and Mars Inc. in McLean ranked 98th.
