      Pros

      Good level of work, very regular hours, great people to work with, everyone seems to have a positive view of the company. Provide the tools you need to design.

      Cons

      Don't value higher level degrees and try to do all development with new grads. This sometimes leads to mistakes which may be correct years later. Some issues with older engineers stopping innovations.

      Pros

      There are some great associates at Garmin. Unfortunately, many of them leave quickly.

      Cons

      The executive leadership team did a good job of getting Garmin to where it was in 2008. Since 2008, revenues and sales have been declining. They have no clue or plan for a way reverse the downward trend. There are no bonuses or stock for managers and no incentive to perform well. Aviation production is months behind schedule because of management's unwillingness to spend money on necessary production equipment. That's bad because that is supposed to be Garmin's strength.
