      Excellent benefits, but Garmin lacks vision when trying to understand what end users want.

      Pros

      young and honest developers and managers. small size and particular friendliness will make it very personal. really good equipment and office location / furniture.

      Cons

      not enough senior developers. poor horizontal integration within the corporation makes it difficult to get things out the door. poor feedback / review processing. tyrannical rule of one/two devs.
