  • In-Person Technical Test With Eight Mixed ProblemsGarmin · Software Engineer · Intern · Onsite · Apr 2026

    First round was a technical test that was held at the company. There were simple questions about OOP and DSA, logic and SQL.

  • Garmin Software Engineer interview with DSA and project discussionsGarmin · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Mar 2026

    I went through a fairly standard, multi-round software and DSA process over a couple of weeks. It included mostly resume and project discussion, along with one or more light to moderate technical assessments.

    Rejected

    I interviewed for a mid-level .NET and Software Engineer type role at Garmin, and I felt the process didn't match my seniority level or the time I put into it. The in-person technical interview lasted two hours and focused heavily on theory rather than problem solving. I missed a few questions but otherwise did okay. Afterward, I was told they really wanted someone senior for a mid-level position…

  • Garmin Software Engineer interview focused on HR, compensation, and fitGarmin · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jun 2025

    I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at Garmin. The first round was mostly about HR, compensation, and fit, and it ended quickly. The HR phone screen covered my resume and behavioral questions, with a strong focus on motivation and discipline. There was no offer. In one case, the salary discussion didn’t align, and in the other, I didn’t continue after the early HR fit check. Location: Olat…
