Pros

Culture of Innovation, R&D commitment and spend, employees truly caring about one another, first name basis for everyone no matter who they are or what their title might be. Dedication to community and creating best possible products to truly make a difference. Giving back to the company and to each employee who is investing in Garmin - which was shown in a recent Glassdoor article on CEO pay where our CEO is ranked 430 out of 441 in terms of CEO to worker pay ratios. Meaning, Garmin's CEO makes one of the lowest salaries

Cons

Under construction - wow, there is NO parking

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)
