      Pros

      The people here are very friendly and fun to work with. Interesting work most of the time. Great benefits, probably the best I'll ever see.

      Cons

      Management can be somewhat frustrating at times. Plans can change and there is a lot of miscommunication that occurs. Pay is a little low.

      Good products but working there is so-so

      Pros

      Known name. This company is very overrated and having Garmin on your resume will draw much attention from future employers. If you come straight from university, you will learn much at very accelerated pace, which is a pro for the first year.

      Cons

      Bad management Low salaries/No bonuses Very high expectations Somewhat depressing offices Location (outskirts of Kansas City) Working overtime is normal No freedom of action, you are always under stress and your supervisor is always pushes you Engineers are treated as geek-students; lack of respect from management Constant brainwashing on the way of living and that the company has no money No growth opportunities I now has worked at four companies as a software engineer and Garmin was the worst. I often remember working there with terror and realize how good my current job is.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, really the best I have seen anywhere Great culture, everyone has a lot of fun, particularly if you like ping pong Challenging work, very satisfying Fun products, cool to see stuff you work on in Best Buy

      Cons

      Can have heavy hours when a major release is coming up Base salary range is a little low, though the benefits tend to make up for it
