      Great until return to office

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Garmin is a stable company -Great benefits -if you’re physically active, lots of ways to be active at work (gym, trails, etc)

      Cons

      Sudden “Return to Office” short sighted. Garmin’s numbers only increased these last 5 years. Garmin should be as forward thinking about their employees as they are about their products. If you aren’t an engineer, it’s hard to move upward. Your enjoyment of the job will 100% rely on your manager, but they may have their hands tied too often to make changes.

      Good company to start your tech career if you don't mind being fully on site and being compensated mostly in retirement

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great benefits, including up to 12.5% 401k match and an ESPP -Depending on team, you get to work on interesting products and features -Surrounded by bright minded and motivated individuals -Good place to start your career and build a retirement nest egg -Incredible work life, balance while hybrid/remote, incredible manager, team and projects while I was there, If you don't mind on site

      Cons

      -Removed option for hybrid work without exceptions despite peak productivity during remote timeframe. Not pragmatic move by leadership. (reduced rating from 4.5 stars to 1 stars because of this). Morale has flatlined and it feels like people are going to quit and my team is going to fall apart soon, -Relatively flat company ladder. Financial appeal of working here declines when you reach senior unless you want a lifetime career here and are focused on building retirement. -Average base compensation compared to industry standards, most of compensation is in retirement.
