Garmin Process Engineer II reviews

-Working hours for salary employees are loosely defined and unpaid overtime is common. -Operations Division (Manufacturing) takes a back seat to the rest of the company (Engineering, Management, Finance, Legal, etc.) in terms of events, merchandise sales, facilities. e.g. Manufacturing staff are separated from main compound via stand alone factory building; cutting off staff from main compound amenities (cafeteria, gym, rec room, coffee shop) -One holiday bonus awarded per year, approximately $300. Senior associates report the bonus declined from full paycheck amounts earlier in the company's history. -Lack of paid holidays ~9 per year in US -high turnover for engineering positions -Process Engineering positions often stressful -Covid-19 response was fair but not excellent. Many positions in non-Operations divisions were migrated to WFH shortly after enormity of pandemic was realized and return to office was largely left to the individual. Operations staff (factory workers and supporting engineers/managers) largely remained on site through the entirety of the pandemic.
