Pros

Has a pleasant working environment, employees are encouraged to express their creativity. There are also sport activites, and special events. You can test various Garmin products. Also, employees can acquire Garmin products at big discounts!

Cons

In some some departments you may not have real opportunities for career growing if you work in a small location of the company. Salaries are decent, but not great.

Pros

- Near 0 threat of layoffs - Fitness oriented culture - Main office has many amenities and is very modern - Good benefits (Health, dental, vision, education)

Cons

- Highly discriminatory, constant meetings about missing hiring inclusion metrics required by law - Little to no opportunity for promotion due to average tenure being 15+ years. This means you will stay in one roll for at least 5 - 7 years for one promotion. - Required highschool gpa to be hired, even if you have a doctorate degree - All salaries are a minimum of 30% lower than the national average due to their "Benefits" - Extremely top heavy with a team of 5 people having 7 levels of management above them - Main motivation for team structure changes being caused by massive amount of retirements instead of growth
