Hackathons are (if any) for people in their 20s with no family/kids. For me companies doing hackathons is a red flag.

Company hackathons are rarely 24hr affairs and more "don't do your normal work during working hours"

My daughter (second child) was born 4 days after I started at Artsy. Some of the best new ideas came from hackathons.

Whether companies do hackatons, beer pong or whatever is irrelevant.
What's relevant is whether being part of those is a discriminating factor for your career.
