      Garmin is a good company, but cartography was drudgery

      Pros

      Nice benefits, fantastic discount on products and I loved that they paid for so many race entries.

      Cons

      *Cartography department, not Garmin as a whole* - the work atmosphere was depressing. No collaboration and I never felt like I was part of a team. Work was isolating and you were always being compared to your counterparts. People didn't stay long. Most of my colleagues lasted 1-3 years before leaving.

      Stable company

      Software engineer/technical lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company will be around for a long time, so you can count on a stable paycheck with modest increases over the years. They survived the financial crisis with no layoffs in engineering. Company just celebrated 30 years in business.

      Cons

      Top engineers can make more money elsewhere. More VPs than top tier software engineers. Can be difficult to get promoted. Sometimes extra effort is not appreciated.

      Pros

      Benefits are good and the company outside of IT has good culture.

      Cons

      IT culture is very poor. Lots of game playing and grandstanding and being held hostage by other parts of the business. The work life balance mantra that is recited so often is non-existent. Poor management that does not value associates enough to stand up to the next manager up the chain.
