Pros

The work culture here is really great! It is the "outdoorsy" person's dream. You get to work on interesting things and then use them yourself in your own adventures.

Cons

Every job has its gripes. Some of the code here is fairly legacy and can be annoying to work with.

Pros

Good 401k contribution match No business casual dress code Gym at the hq

Cons

The only people who stay at Garmin are the ones who can handle high amounts of stress, always. The mental health well-being program/emails are a joke. You will not see an extra dime even if your product sells really well. There is zero motivation to do an great job unless you want to climb up the ladder to a management job. In quarterly meetings, management will do their best to dodge questions about salary increases in the same breath as them telling you that "x segment grew 25% beating all previous records." If you show that you will bend over backwards for the company, they will take that and make it the new expectation for you without adjusting pay. 90%+ white men. I've been in meetings where there were two non-white people and the managers asked if we did a good job being diverse.
