Pros

12.5% 401k matching, RSUs and PC-RSUs, Zero premiums HDHP

Cons

PTO policy has sick and paid time combined, COVID has reemphasized how easy it is to run out and how slowly it replenishes. Much of Garmin management is very unfriendly to work from home policies

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)
