Garmin was pretty nice, but they were a bit too disrespectful. There is a disconnect between their HR and their engineers. Make sure you find out who you are interviewing with and figure out their background.

Interview
30 min phone screen, then 1hr technical interview, then 3.5 hours on-site interview. It's your typical interview: they start by talking about your resume and projects, then put your technical skills to the test, and finally open it up for you to ask questions.
