Intern Reviews
- “Work-life balance is very nice. Many employees hardly work overtime.”
- “I am expected to work a standard 40 hours, but between getting paid holidays and accruing paid time off, they allow for a good balance over the summer without sacrificing pay. There were a few paid team/company outings that helped during slow weeks.”
- “When it is time to work, everyone hunkers down, but when we have paid activities, the break room is very lively and free going. I was required to work 40 hours a week, but work was separate from life as once I was off the clock, I wasn't asked to think about work in the slightest, not taking work home is what helps keep me recharged to return to work the next day.”
- “Garmin seems to have a very strong work-life balance. Employees don't seem to be overworked or expected to work long hours. Everyone is very positive.”
Getting Hired Here
- “I always heard back in a timely manner. I had two interviews, which were fairly straightforward. I think the company selects people they think match well with the company mission, which makes it very easy to get along with all the other interns.”
- “The hiring process was very simple - it consisted of an HR interview and a technical interview. I enjoyed both interviews a lot. The HR interview consisted of me going over my past experience in software development, with great focus put on the projects I completed in the past. The technical interview was very focused on practical software engineering, which I appreciated. I also got an insight into the actual work process and flow at the company. The actual interview programming question was relatively easy.”
- “The interviews were very reasonable. I gave a recruiter my resume at my college's career fair, was then contacted about a week later to schedule an interview. I had one standard interview and one technical interview. The technical questions and 2 challenges I went through gave me the impression that they weren't necessarily looking for speed or extreme expertise but instead that I demonstrated good programming principles and had a well-thought-out process. The whole process took about a month from career fair to offer letter.”
- “Talked to recruiters at [a] career fair, submitted an application, and was given a phone screening interview. Then completed an hour-long technical interview, which was difficult, but they took into consideration the level of education I currently possessed.”
