Great company, terrible upper management
Pros
There are many pros working for Garmin like: - 401k contributions are the best I've seen. If I contribute 10% of my income, they add another 12.5% - Employee Stock has 15% discount and can contribute up to 10% of your income - Company culture is great, everyone, as in everyone, were previous engineers - Hybrid style with the option to work remotely on Monday and Friday, most of us did - Aside from the 2-3 snakes with friendly faces, everyone I have met were genuinely cool people, got along really well with them, and have not had any issues brought up to me - Performance based which matters on yearly evaluations - Sports and activities are highly encouraged in the office - There's lots of clubs, to name a few: baking club, fitness club, volleyball club, board games club - About 3-6 team events annually including BBQ, happy hours, etc - Really exciting work as well, I was never doing a very repeated boring tasks
Cons
- Slightest display of unprofessionalism will get you terminated immediately with no warning and no severance - Everything put into writing in company chats, including private, are taken seriously and at face value including jokes and sarcasm - Pay is average, whatever Google say your income be on that city will be your income - Annual raise is only at the end of the year at about 0-3.2% yearly and additional 10% each promotion which does not happen often
