Interns will have the opportunity to interface with a variety of departments outside of the Controller's Organization, developing collaborative relationships with individuals within those departments.

As accountants progress in their career at Marathon, additional responsibilities include more complex accounting and analysis activities, presentation of new ideas and concepts in formal meetings, and creative thought in enhancing existing processes or developing new ones to improve efficiency. Progressed employees may work with and mentor less experienced accountants, or perform as the lead analyst in an accounting section. The Controller's Organization is committed to developing accountants by providing experience in as many areas of the business as practical.

Accountants who demonstrate exceptional proficiency are eligible for opportunities within other areas of the Company, where the analytical skills developed while in the Controller's Organization are highly valued.
