I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Garmin (Brea, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
I got a call from the company's recruiters very soon after submitting my resume to their career website. The recruiters are all out of state as Garmin has many locations around the US . She recommended me a different position from the original one I applied for. Next was an online programming test in C++. I believe I completed the C++ tasks decently within time limit. However, 3 days later, I received an email stating that they could not offer me a position and encouraged me to keep checking their career website for new positions.

Question 1
Write from scratch the C++ classes for a game. Time limit: 1 hour
I was applying to one of their Senior Software Engineer openings in the Boulder location. I had gone through a round of interviews. The questions were not bad, and the interviewers were pleasant. My main concern is that the HR/Recruitment is only opening this position for candidate lead farming! I had asked multiple times for an understanding on the my current status to be given radio silence.
1 month later, the job opening is reposted on linkedIn. With over hundreds of qualified candidates, you're telling me you can't find one qualified candidate. Don't waste multiple hours!!

Interview
I had an hour-long interview with a recruiter who came across as unprofessional and rude. The recruiter asked me to rate my skills on various topics, which took about 20-30 minutes. When she inquired about my expected salary, I asked for the salary range, which seemed to annoy her. Her demeanor changed, and she immediately lost interest.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Garmin (Kansas City, MO) in Jul 2022
Interview
I initially interviewed with the Technical Recruiter, but I was declined before being able to interview with the actual hiring manager or interview with the technical team members. I thought the interview with the recruiter went really well so I was actually shocked when I wasn't able to proceed with the interview process. My guess is that it had to do with my race, based on some of the questions I was asked.
