      Software Engineer Interview

      May 3, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Garmin in Apr 2011

      Interview

      Interviewed with HR representative in February over the phone, just a behavioral interview. Was told that the hiring manager would be contacting me in a week. Four weeks and 4 emails later, I was finally contacted. A couple of days later I was given a technical interview, and again was told I would hear something within a week or two. Another 4 weeks, 4 emails, and a phone call later, the HR rep finally emailed me to tell me that I was not accepted. Aside from the timing issues, everyone that I dealt with was very friendly and welcoming.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin

      Interview

      There was an initial phone interview with the recruiter. That was on the informational/behavioral side. Then there was a brief phone interview with the manager of the team. I was asked a variety of technical questions. After that, there was an on-site interview. There I met the manager and the manager's manager. They asked specific technical questions in different areas of programming and then gave me a coding exercise.
