I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin in Sep 2012
Interview
I gave my resume to some Garmin associates at a career fair at my university, and later that night I received a phone call to set up an on campus interview. The interview consisted of two 30 minute sessions, first with a software engineer and then with someone from human resources. The software engineer went over my resume and asked general questions for the majority and then gave me a piece of code to look at towards the end. The human resources part consisted of general interview questions; nothing rigorous. About a week later I received a phone call with a internship offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to look at some C code and describe what it did. Then, I was asked to describe three ways in which the code could be improved.
You first speak to hr, talk about your resume and experience, normal stuff. The technical started off with basic hr questions and a bit about your resume and experience. Then began to ask basic OOP concepts like Polymorphism, got asked whats difference between pass by reference and pass by value, stuff like that. Then a few coding questions in python.
It was a straight forward interview process, discussed my previous experience, and some general technical questions, and did a programming exercise in a video interview.
A SQL problem and a DSA problem.
I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Yarmouth, ME) in Jan 2026
Interview
HR screening was pretty basic. Technical interview was done remotely. There were two people on the call beside myself. Questions were all technical and didn't bleed into any behavioral questions or assessments.
