Question 1
Why Garmin?
Describe past projects
Describe a time you had to show integrity and choose to do the right thing
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin in May 2025
Interview
Terrible. I've interviewed here twice now. The HR department will ghost you and the interviews themselves contain lots of frivolous questions. It's clear they don't respect their applicants very much at all. Very unprofessional.
