Pros

Work load is less apart from this nothing

Cons

Worst company culture with a "hire and fire" mentality. HR does not address employee concerns or issues. Excessive micromanagement throughout the organization. Garmin India is falsely projected as a product-based company, while it doesn’t even meet level 1 standards. Management is unresponsive to employee grievances and often resorts to abrupt terminations. Long-term employees (10-15 years) are frequently placed on PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) despite their tenure. Insufficient parking facilities for employees; only 50 parking slots for a headcount of 300, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance. It's a good culture and I've never worked at a place where your immediate peers are this helpful and pleasant to work with, even across teams and offices. If you want to just come in and do just what is required for your job and go home with the knowledge you have a stable job, this is the perfect place to work. I'd only recommend working here if you just want a job, but don't care about a career.

Cons

There is poor career advancement, especially if you aren't male. Leadership does not care about leading people. The RTO has made working here less appealing. The excuse that you can't collaborate unless you are in the same building makes no sense when you work with people in 6 different countries. It is about control and appearances, all due to incredibly poor senior leadership strategies. The pay is also low and so is the quality of the software you work on. Leadership likes to talk quality, but they like fast and cheap. They will not support you in actual software quality nor implement changes to improve it. The same issues happen over and over without improvement.
