Pros

Working at Garmin has changed my life for the better. This is a world class facility that really cares about its employees. There is so much opportunity internally for growth or transfer. The benefits are unmatched compared to other companies in town. The people here are amazing and very talented individuals. Work life balance is such a change of pace for me also, parking garage is empty by 5:10! Overall, I can see myself here for a very long time. - 12.5% 401k Match - Onsite gym and 2 full basketball courts - Work life balance - Stable company that doesn't do layoffs - Maternity leave is 8 weeks 100% paid + more

Cons

Garmin doesn't pay likes a west coast tech company, because they aren't one. Benefits make up for a lot of pay lost.

Nice headquarters, good people, fun atmosphere.

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

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
