I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Jan 2018
Interview
Applied online, heard back the next day to set up a phone interview. Phone interview consisted mainly of questions about my resume, past experience, side projects, company and team expectations, salary, etc. Heard back a couple days later, and had 3 onsite interviews scheduled. 2 of the interviews were 2 on 1 (one technical with engineers/architects, and the other behavioral with two manager/team leads), and the 3rd was with HR. Was given a tour of the facility as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a hashmap and a map?
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.
