Pros

Nice colleague and good pay

Cons

For AOEM department, the work hour per day is 10~14. No work-life balance. Sometimes, you need to work on Saturday.

Garmin encourages work-life balance for all associates. There are times when associates may have to work beyond normal hours to meet critical project milestones or deliverable, but this is not the norm. As a current associate of Garmin, I would encourage you to share your concerns with the HR team. - Sara Slocum, HR Team Leader

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)
