Don't judge a book by the cover. People who live around here believe Garmin is THE place to work; that is not the case. - Anonymous employee Garmin Employee Review

Pros

Paid health care Relaxed dress code Friendly people

Cons

Extremely poor HR- no professionalism. No brains. It's a sorority. Extremely poor middle mgt. They generally have no mgt experience and receive no training. Conflict resolution is nil and poor performance is protected or ignored. No career development paths No training opportunities for your area of expertise From middle management on up, they are completely out of touch with what is going on with the little guys in the trenches

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
