      Pros

      Laid back culture, no uniforms, no one constantly looking over your shoulder - just make sure to get your work done, performance based salary, good benefits package (insurance, vacation, 401k, etc.), team I work with cares about doing a great job, most people are great to work with

      Cons

      Salary seems to be lower compared to other software companies, recreation area/room is small, no in house medical clinic

      Pros

      Great working environment and excellent team environment. Perfect work life balance.

      Cons

      Lateral movement is a little difficult due to relatively flat structure. Growth can become stagnant.

      Pros

      Awesome benefits...... Education reimbursement is great. There are many resources to better your career, even if you don't stay with Garmin these are tools that you can use at your next job!!

      Cons

      Advancement is not based off merit. You need to call a hotline everyday to determine if you are working two hours of overtime. You can be held accountable for company policies. Even if you have been told incorrectly by your superiors. THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY!!! I was not given the attendance policy until six months in. And it was extremely vague leaving room for interpretation. Absolutely no training. (The newbies train the new hires) Forced to work 12 hour days.
