Vantaggi

Known name. This company is very overrated and having Garmin on your resume will draw much attention from future employers. If you come straight from university, you will learn much at very accelerated pace, which is a pro for the first year.

Svantaggi

Bad management Low salaries/No bonuses Very high expectations Somewhat depressing offices Location (outskirts of Kansas City) Working overtime is normal No freedom of action, you are always under stress and your supervisor is always pushes you Engineers are treated as geek-students; lack of respect from management Constant brainwashing on the way of living and that the company has no money No growth opportunities I now has worked at four companies as a software engineer and Garmin was the worst. I often remember working there with terror and realize how good my current job is.

Vantaggi

Good benefits and work life balance. It's a good culture and I've never worked at a place where your immediate peers are this helpful and pleasant to work with, even across teams and offices. If you want to just come in and do just what is required for your job and go home with the knowledge you have a stable job, this is the perfect place to work. I'd only recommend working here if you just want a job, but don't care about a career.

Svantaggi

There is poor career advancement, especially if you aren't male. Leadership does not care about leading people. The RTO has made working here less appealing. The excuse that you can't collaborate unless you are in the same building makes no sense when you work with people in 6 different countries. It is about control and appearances, all due to incredibly poor senior leadership strategies. The pay is also low and so is the quality of the software you work on. Leadership likes to talk quality, but they like fast and cheap. They will not support you in actual software quality nor implement changes to improve it. The same issues happen over and over without improvement.
