Pros

The projects are very exciting. You complete a project from start to finish and typically design the entire product. This is really nice because I get to learn all aspects of electrical engineering and become more valuable. It also keeps my options open if I decide to get a different job. The company cares about its employees. We have a winter party that is absolutely amazing, and totally free to EVERY employee. We also get a free trip to the local amusement park once per year. You get completely free health, dental and vision benefits. Also there are several optional benefits that you can choose to receive at a significant discount. The work environment is just fun.

Cons

The raises could be better.

Pros

Garmin is a very young company meaning that it is not your typical business environment. It is sstill ran by the first engineer, Min Kao, who created the company and has not had to downsize by having analyst come in and make cuts. I don't believe anyone has been let go due to financial problems. Garmin is also a great place for people right out of college. The senior staff are still young and able to relate to the new employees. and it lets the workers feel free to express ideas.

Cons

The company is so large you sometimes get left behind if you don't press yourself hard.
