Pros

It's a really nice place to work. The coworkers are great to work with, the job is fun, and people really care about the products.

Cons

It's located in Olathe, KS. It's not a very exciting city to live in, so it may not be for everyone.

Pros

There are several great reasons to work at Garmin, most importantly the opportunity to work on cutting edge projects. I always have access to the best technology and resources available to get the job done the right way. I feel that there is emphasis on the quality of my work. Great work doesn't go unnoticed or unrewarded. My colleagues share the same vision. I appreciate the opportunity to work in a relaxed yet professional environment.

Cons

There aren't many downsides to working at Garmin.

Pros

Great benefits, interesting work, products known the world over. One of the best work atmospheres I could imagine. Casual dress code. Employees are treated as competent adults and not children to be micromanaged. There are nice employee perks like getting a voucher for a turkey at thanksgiving, free tickets to worlds of fun in the summer, and a really nice winter formal event. Meeetings and training are generally kept to a minimum and are only held to the extent that they are really useful.

Cons

This doesn't happen as often in my department, but there is occasionally lots of overtime in some departments.
