| May 8, 2019 at 7:02 | comment | added | Erik | @DarkCygnus only the ones organized by companies for their employees I would think. I've only participated in ones hosted by organizations for anyone willing to attend and they get nothing out of it, outside of maybe some contacts and a fun weekend | |
| May 7, 2019 at 23:25 | comment | added | Malisbad | @DarkCygnus I mean, a lot of them do, but when that contribution is to open source projects and/or the creators retain exclusive IP rights to it, it is likely a lot more ethical. | |

| May 7, 2019 at 22:40 | comment | added | Malisbad | What are the IP requirements? Are you required to work overtime for this in either an official, or "strongly suggested" capacity? Will your performance here be used to rate your general performance? If one or more of these things are true, it's "optional". A corporate hackathon that is "optional" is just an attempt by a corporation to grab excess value from their employees along with significant unpaid overtime exploring new potentially profitable ideas. | |

| May 7, 2019 at 0:07 | comment | added | DarkCygnus♦ | Also, is there some sort of registration process for the hackathon? All of the ones I have participated have one, and just not registering would be a way to opt out smoothly | |
| May 7, 2019 at 0:06 | comment | added | DarkCygnus♦ | Have other coworkers opted-out in the past? If you find that out, and ask them how they opted out you could get some relevant feedback besides the answers you get here... if no one has ever opted-out... well, that is also something to consider. | |
