First, a phone interview was conducted where personality and basic technical questions were asked, such as something like "how would you build a chess game?" After, I was contacted a few days later and I was asked to travel to Olathe for an interview and that my travel and stay would be funded. They put me in a La Quinta hotel, it was alright, but my experience was not the best. Interview started the next day, I arrived about 15 minutes early and waited for my recruiter. She asked some personal questions and whatnot, then we went on to the technical interview. Three senior designers drilled me with some questions, and then it was on to a complementary lunch. People seemed to be somewhat casually dressed, but everyone clearly took themselves seriously.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
A lot of questions about some "definitions" of C++ constructs, ask a few questions about programming related experience on your resume and want you to demonstrate it (such as SQL) and they wanted to make sure you knew about things like inheritance and everything.
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.

J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Garmin en mai 2025
Entretien
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.
