Pros

Payed on time. Good colleagues.

Cons

Poor leadership, underpaid, no career growth, unappreciated, horrible customers I'm HIGHLY disappointed with how Garmin treats it's product support employees. Certain employees get preferential treatment of having the luxury of never being on the phone while others are forced to take call after call all day long. There should be an even distribution of call and chat time among the teams but that is not the case at all. The pay and raises are artocious. They try to hide this behind good benefits but you can't eat benefits or pay your rent with them. The customers are outstandingly unintelligent and will have you in tears at how tech illiterate, entitled, and rude they are. They are forcing employees to return to the office full time where there was a well functioning hybrid office previously. So much for work life balance that they claimed to care so much about. We are not engineers, we do not need to be in the office at all to do our jobs. There is no benefit for this at all for product support. There is no room for career growth at all. The old structure of having the segments you support dictacte your product support tier and pay is gone so they have PS1 people supporting three segments which used to mean you were a PS3 with the pay increases that come with it. They try to squeeze as much work out of you without proper compensation and it's horrible. This is just another dead end call center. Don't bother.

Pros

Cool projects to work on Great benefits Job security

Cons

Management is completely tone deaf to what engineers/people actually want. They are removing the hybrid work schedule and reverting back to forced full time in office, with no sort of compensation for losing this huge benefit. Morale at the office has taken a huge hit because of this, not only because of the loss of WFH but also because management has been super shady with how they have gone about it, not disclosing information and lying to our faces about the reasons for this decision. On top of this the raises this year were basically non-existent, even for those who worked extremely hard and put in extra time to get things done on schedule. Management is basically giving all their employees a big middle finger, and saying if you don't like it then leave. Garmin has gone the way of every other big tech corporation, except for compensation, even through they claim to have small company values.
