      Working at Garmin is career and innovation stifling.

      Pros

      Gamin has a very relaxed dress code. Engineers below the lead/manager level are very competent and have ideas for products to propel Garmin forward.

      Cons

      Some Leads/Managers hold the positions they have by tenure at Garmin rather than knowledge and skillset. It's all about cutting costs and cutting corners.

      Pros

      Garmin's benefits are unmatched. The work is varied and mostly interesting. There are opportunities to work with lots of different technologies. Management cares about the company and its employees. The Kansas City metro area is a good place to raise a family.

      Cons

      Management seems out of touch with employees. There is little opportunity for professional development and advancement.
