Pros

Stable employment. The people I interact with every day (middle management and below) are just great. No interpersonal drama. Good, down to earth, interesting people with intelligence and moral character. Historically ran by engineers not finance guys, and avoided a lot of "corporate BS" despite being a large company.

Cons

Compensation has always been mediocre. Decisions from upper management have been increasingly negatively impacting employees. In the years to come, I would expect increased attrition and decaying culture.

Pros

-Garmin is a stable company -Great benefits -if you’re physically active, lots of ways to be active at work (gym, trails, etc)

Cons

Sudden “Return to Office” short sighted. Garmin’s numbers only increased these last 5 years. Garmin should be as forward thinking about their employees as they are about their products. If you aren’t an engineer, it’s hard to move upward. Your enjoyment of the job will 100% rely on your manager, but they may have their hands tied too often to make changes.
