      Wonderful company to work for

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outrageously good benefits, interesting field of work, great team to work with. Because it's a consumer electronic company, you can actually (sometimes) see how your work affects a product being sold.

      Cons

      Salary was a little lower, but the benefits made up for it. Overall it was a pretty positive experience

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Benefits - 401K, Healthcare, Vacation, Employee Purchase Program, Stock, Stock Options Cool Products - In all markets. A techie's dream company Company Spirit - Almost religious driven by strong brand Company Management: No debt. Fiscally responsible. Fairly stable Nice facilities Global business - Offices and customers from all over the world

      Cons

      Culture: Servant mentality is embraced. "You are here to serve" No career path. People are pigeon-holed and rarely have opportunities to progress Mediocre pay packages & raises. Few bonuses or commissions (but stock options) Class system: Engineering is highly valued at the expense of other functions Extremely conservative and risk averse in aggressive consumer markets Homongenous employment: 20-30-something White Male. Few minorities or women in leadership roles. Feels like an engineering college environment. No sense of employee urgency. Traffic jam to leave the office at 5 PM Uncharismatic leadership. Senior leaders hide on their 8th fllor oak paneled offices Limited Management Engagement - Little positivity or encouragement/direction from senior leaders Thrifty to the point of stingy. Nothing is done BIG at Garmin
