      Satisfying work with flexible hours and excellent management

      Pros

      I am given responsibility to complete projects in the way I see fit. Hours are flexible, within reasonable limits around core business hours. Can work from home in case of mild sickness or inclement weather instead of using vacation time. Managers are engineers promoted from within, so they understand the projects we work on and are very reasonable with deadlines and expectations. Development tools and hardware are kept up to date. Benefits are excellent for families.

      Cons

      Benefits are not as good for single employees. Compensation lags behind other software positions.

      Pros

      I've always felt that if you work hard and contribute, you'll be rewarded. We have an incredible total rewards package including several options for health, plus dental, vision, 401k and Pension Plans. Garmin also offers awesome opportunities for the associates and thier families such as our Winter Event, Children's Holiday Party, Summer Event, and Easter Egg Hunt, which I think is unique for a company of Garmin's size. I believe in our leadership's vision, our culture and our mission and feel that the values that Garmin espouses are values that our associates truly try to live by in the performance of thier jobs.

      Cons

      Lack of options for flexible schedules or working from home. I worry that this lack of flexiblity in some cases could be construed by some as a lack of work/life balance. Although I understand the philosophy behind this decision - face to face collaboration results in a more successful product/collaboration - I think that some additional flexiblity is warranted.
