      Software Developer Interview

      Aug 6, 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Olathe, KS
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      The Garmin interview process can seem old fashioned which can put a lot of people off initially. Garmin normally has an interview process spanning at least 3 interviews with the occasional 4th. Initial interview with a recruiter looking to match your resume skills with the current position and ask further questions that might have been missed in the application to provide you with the opportunity to explain your experience and how it matches the position, which can be lost in translation within just an application. The next interview is normally one to two weeks later set up about one day after the initial recruiter interview. This will be normally over the phone with the department head looking to ask harder hitting questions about specific experience with different tools and projects to match them with their departments current projects. If that goes well you will get another interview in person about a week later that will go over technical questions, code snippets, and projects you have worked on. This will be done with multiple team leads in the room who will be the direct people you will be working with. They will focus on a few question about previous work being "What went well in a project, What went poorly, What was a surprise. And what still confuses you." These should be honest answers that show how you approach problems and are always looking for ways to improve next time. Once this interview is done you can expect several days to a week later to hear about an offer from the initial recruiter. If there is not an offer you are highly recommended to continue to apply since there are wildly different fields within Garmin that could be looking for you, simply not that specific position. The entire process, even with internal hires, will last nearly two months which can create a lot of anxiety.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a previous project that you have worked on, What went well, what went poorly, what was a surprise, and what still puzzles you? How have you improved on different projects based on those answers?

      You first speak to hr, talk about your resume and experience, normal stuff. The technical started off with basic hr questions and a bit about your resume and experience. Then began to ask basic OOP concepts like Polymorphism, got asked whats difference between pass by reference and pass by value, stuff like that. Then a few coding questions in python.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Yarmouth, ME) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      HR screening was pretty basic. Technical interview was done remotely. There were two people on the call beside myself. Questions were all technical and didn't bleed into any behavioral questions or assessments.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Can you explain what polymorphism is?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Leetcode-style live coding assessment asking to compare two strings and determine if they are anagrams of each other.
