> participated in company-sponsored hackathons

Company sponsored hackathons are better if you have a large one that works on diverse fields and products.

Usually org-wide hackathons within a company are plain nonsense and soul sucking. Participation will be voluntary but "strongly recommended". Collecting "ideas" is mostly picking off stories from JIRA.

We just call it a two/three day sprint.
