Pros

Garmin really feels like an engineering company. The priority is quality. There are many bright engineers to help you out if you get stuck. The work life balance is great with no one asking you to put in extra time.

Cons

There are processes that help ensure quality but slow down the process. For the company that's good, but sometimes you wish you could just crank out code.
