Was at a couple of "internal" hackatons ran by my employer as a part of the offsite all hands meeting. There was plenty of corporate politics involved with judging, other than that it was time well spent. The angle was to bring new ideas to the table and build an MVP/POC to demo the idea. Overall was a positive experience other than the politics involved. The event was voluntary, took place in the hotel with beer in the hotel bar and nice catered lunches.
