      Hard to get a job there. Great company to work for.

      Pros

      Very vibrant and goal driven organization. Incredible summer picnics, winter dinners, and lots of social events. The type of work changed all the time and was very rewarding. Parking garage (car doesn't get sun fade or snow). Lots of "new hire" kids out of college kept the culture young and fun.

      Cons

      Frankly, it's hard to stand out with so many extremely smart people. I know that sounds self-serving but I consider myself a pretty ambitious and dedicated worker, and I would rate myself an average performer on my team at Garmin. This combined with low turnover also hinders advancement. The pay was under industry but the health and other benefits made up for it.

      They've fallen and don't know how to get up

      Pros

      Relatively interesting technology, good for your resume, relatively easy low cost of living in the area. Nice medical plan. Excellent facility, free parking.

      Cons

      High turnover, no ability to work from home. Aging technology base. Shrinking market segment. Stubborn management, inbred management team. High fraction of H1B. Funny to be in a meeting where your watching four or five engineers trying to argue in a language most can't speak fluently.
