I applied in-person. I interviewed at Garmin (Diamond Bar, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Went to an open house they had back in 2019. Spoke to an engineer who asked me some questions on programming concepts. Did well enough that I was invited to return the next day where I was giving some coding problems to do. Got a rejection email about a week or 2 later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Don't quite remember the question but knew it was related to traversing a tree for a specific node. Another one dealt with something like finding the best day to sell a stock (given an array of prices) to maximize profit.
You first speak to hr, talk about your resume and experience, normal stuff. The technical started off with basic hr questions and a bit about your resume and experience. Then began to ask basic OOP concepts like Polymorphism, got asked whats difference between pass by reference and pass by value, stuff like that. Then a few coding questions in python.
It was a straight forward interview process, discussed my previous experience, and some general technical questions, and did a programming exercise in a video interview.
A SQL problem and a DSA problem.
I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Yarmouth, ME) in Jan 2026
Interview
HR screening was pretty basic. Technical interview was done remotely. There were two people on the call beside myself. Questions were all technical and didn't bleed into any behavioral questions or assessments.
