Pros

Good 401k contribution match No business casual dress code Gym at the hq

Cons

The only people who stay at Garmin are the ones who can handle high amounts of stress, always. The mental health well-being program/emails are a joke. You will not see an extra dime even if your product sells really well. There is zero motivation to do an great job unless you want to climb up the ladder to a management job. In quarterly meetings, management will do their best to dodge questions about salary increases in the same breath as them telling you that "x segment grew 25% beating all previous records." If you show that you will bend over backwards for the company, they will take that and make it the new expectation for you without adjusting pay. 90%+ white men. I've been in meetings where there were two non-white people and the managers asked if we did a good job being diverse.

Pros

Great benefits, nice and smart people, culture is generally good. The company is stable and conservatively managed, and always seems to turn a profit. Despite the pay not being very competitive, when combined with the benefits and stability, the overall package is attractive.

Cons

You must be very sparing with the word "no" to be successful here. Saying "yes" is rewarded and has resulted in a culture where no one wants to raise the flag when there are issues. Its best for your career if you aren't the one person making noise about something as you will be alone. Managers hate when people pursue different roles - this will hurt your career. The best career path is to leave and then later come back.
