Pros

- Amazing benefits and amenities. Great place for people with families to support. Cafe/courts/gym is pretty nice to have, Very, very generous employee discount on products - Engineering focused place with former IC's/engineers/generally competent people in management roles. Surprisingly not as common in the real world as I thought, Garmin is good about getting quality managers from what I've seen - Lot of friendly, smart, helpful people with a lot of experience. One of the first things I've noticed is how many people have worked there for significant portions of their career. There definitely are a lot of positives that inspire loyalty in a lot of people. - Also from what I've seen, seems like a place where the company actually cares about their employees and wants to see them grow. This depends on the situation but I've seen an emphasis on making sure people who want to move up have opportunities to do so

Cons

- They are getting rid of hybrid work schedule - Salary isn't quite at the top of the market but they are able to get away with it due to the really good benefits - This will depend on your role and experience but I tend to see key IC's get pushed really hard, although this certainly isn't unique to Garmin. - Seems like some teams suffer chronic understaffing or have retention issues, like due to responsibility vs pay, or not enough money going towards the team. Again not an issue unique to Garmin or very common here but I have noticed it
