Got through the HR interview which went smoothly. Basic stuff HR questions nothing too difficult. Definitely just be yourself and try to express your personality to the interviewer. Which can definitely be hard through a phone call.
5 months of back and forth, very poor communication, and easy interview questions only to be told I needed to fly out to kansas in a few days time. Went out there for an in person interview, was ghosted, and then rejected with no reason.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Garmin (Calgary, AB)
Interview
1st interview with HR, asked about what do i know about company, why i want to work here and all general questions. Said that it will be one technical task to do and second round will be at the office with managers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Gave me few days to do technical task - data compression algorithm.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview consisted of 3 rounds, with the final round being an on-site interview.
Started with a basic phone screen, why Garmin, about myself, etc. The interview was easy and lasted approximately 30 minutes.
The second interview was a Teams call with Coderpad. Spent the majority of the interview reviewing my resume, technical skills, and then answering technical questions related to the position (e.g., how would you describe paging in OS).
The final round consisted of 4 interviews over the course of 6 hours on-site at their facilities. These were similar interviews with multiple teams, but different Leetcode-style questions. Consisted of going over my background, resume, technical work, and then Coderpad.
The total time was approximately a month, from receiving the phone screen to the on-site interview. Took about a week after the final interview to hear back.
