Pros

Garmin is full of good people who are technically competent and easy to work with. If you can get on a mobile app project, you will get to work with new technology on interesting problems. Just stay away from "Info-serv"

Cons

Below average compensation plus an unpleasant work environment has caused an exodus of talent. If you get stuck on "Info-serv" your life will be significantly worse.
