Wonderful People Obtuse Policies. - Engineering Technician Garmin Employee Review

Nice headquarters, good people, fun atmosphere.

Questionable C-Suite directives/policies. A lot of bureaucracy, and it's difficult to move new ideas forward.

Great, and I mean great benefits.

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)
