Garmin Project Manager reviews

Inexperienced Managers, Ineffective business strategy, Intellectual bullies get promoted, Can't maintain long term customer relationships

As with any work environment, it all depends on who you work for and with. If you work with and/or for. There are constant reorganizations within the company. I was there for 10 years and had 8 different managers in that time. There are a lot of people that work very hard, but some employees seem to skate by without any repercussions. Job responsibilities are very broad and it's easy to take on more than an individual can handle, and management does little to help ease the workload or help those who are overworked. They rely heavily on their great workers, who often end up being the only person who knows the ins and outs of different systems. When an employee leaves the company there is often a big gap. It's filled when the company moves on to a new technology and abandons the old one, so it doesn't seem to impact the company for long overall, but it makes already overworked employees experience a lot more stress. The company has worked to give more opportunities for upward advancement, but new positions are often filled by handpicked individuals.
