Pros

Garmin has a great culture for engineers. Fun products to work on, relaxed environment with better then average pay and outstanding benefits. The cafeteria is good, there is a fitness room with ping pong tables, and the management has taken an interest in keeping people happy and pleased with their jobs.

Cons

The last few years (and probably the next few) show declining revenues because of PND sales. This has been tough. But other markets are starting to pick up, and Garmin is still very profitable.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
