I applied through university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Garmin
Interview
I spoke with a recruiter at my campus career fair. They called me later that night to schedule an interview for the day after. It was a bit short notice and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I thought the interview would be very technical but they only asked me questions about my resume and simple behavioral questions. I got an offer 3 days after the interview. In all it was a very quick experience and not at all what I expected it to be.
Quick phone call asking the regular questions like tell me about yourself, why Garmin, etc. Then the coding interview, which in my personal opionion it was hard. They had all different types of coding problems, and unfortunately I got the hardest one.

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.
