Engineer 1 - Anonymous employee Garmin Employee Review

Nice headquarters, good people, fun atmosphere.

Questionable C-Suite directives/policies. A lot of bureaucracy, and it's difficult to move new ideas forward.

Mostly interesting engineering work Good work-life balance and managers who understand schedules Decent benefits package (especially 401K)

Little opportunity for remote work Compensation is not competitive compared to engineering roles elsewhere Easy to stagnate if your manager is not advocating for you or setting proper expectations Promotion decisions are not transparent Internal transfers are difficult and uncommon Company growth has created excessive bureaucracy Individual responsibility is becoming less clear as the company rapidly grows
