Pros
Conservative approach means less job volatility, feeling of consistency for employees, and preparation for bad times in economy. The culture historically has been friendly and personable, although that may be changing. Great medical benefits for single or family, overall good benefits package.
Cons
Management seems to be losing some of the original vision, or at least rhetoric, that Garmin is an employee first company, with a family atmosphere. Garmin seems to be getting more corporate, and less personally interested in their employees. Additionally, a negative to the conservative financial approach the company takes is that they are less likely to offer highly competitive salaries for top talent. Not the greatest paid time off plan. The flexibility with working hours and time off isn't great either.
