Pros

The people whom I worked under were all very nice people and were always willing to lend a hand. There's very little work drama, which is great. Garmin prides itself in its work life culture and it's great that during the short time that I was there, they held many company events that brought people together.

Cons

depending on what team you get put on, some days can feel pretty isolating. Since teams are naturally separated (physically), if you get stuck in a small team, it can get really quiet on most days.

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)
