      Great Company

      Pros

      The work life Balance is pretty good here. There's an emphasis on getting work done in a timely manner and pulling more people in if you end up in a time crunch. I've never had to work more than 40 hours since I've been here. The benefits are also pretty incredible; I don't think there's anyone who can beat the 401(k) matching here, the health insurance is very good and this discount on Garmin products is legendary. If you're working in Olathe, you'll also get access to the Garmin gym and free fitness classes.

      Cons

      Base pay could be a little higher, and Garmin isn't a company to give out giant bonuses. Opportunities for growth can be slow to appear here as well.

      They will hire outside before they promote within

      Pros

      They hire good people to work with, benefits are cool

      Cons

      Bad pay, even if you have a degree and qualify for jobs they won’t hire you. People who know less get promoted faster. Managers told me GARMIN doesn’t pay much and I need to look elsewhere for a job. Place is great to work for if you’re an engineer.

      Great company to work for

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company to work for, good benefits, good work-life balance. Coworkers are knowledgeable and you quickly are able to work on meaningful projects. Pay is good for the area, but much lower than you'd get in some other companies.

      Cons

      Low employee turnover, but that means it can be difficult to move up in position. Some people have been here for years and are still junior members of teams.
