Pros

Garmin hires increasable people to work there. As most people that see Garmin from the outside knows the quality and reputation of the core products. Excellent benefits - I have never worked anywhere where the benefits were as good as Garmin. But, there is a cost for everything... Stable work environment.

Cons

Cheap - that is the best word to describe the company. Salaries are not competitive and the stress level is quite high for certain positions.

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance. It's a good culture and I've never worked at a place where your immediate peers are this helpful and pleasant to work with, even across teams and offices. If you want to just come in and do just what is required for your job and go home with the knowledge you have a stable job, this is the perfect place to work. I'd only recommend working here if you just want a job, but don't care about a career.

Cons

There is poor career advancement, especially if you aren't male. Leadership does not care about leading people. The RTO has made working here less appealing. The excuse that you can't collaborate unless you are in the same building makes no sense when you work with people in 6 different countries. It is about control and appearances, all due to incredibly poor senior leadership strategies. The pay is also low and so is the quality of the software you work on. Leadership likes to talk quality, but they like fast and cheap. They will not support you in actual software quality nor implement changes to improve it. The same issues happen over and over without improvement.
