5 months of back and forth, very poor communication, and easy interview questions only to be told I needed to fly out to kansas in a few days time. Went out there for an in person interview, was ghosted, and then rejected with no reason.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin in Apr 2025
Interview
There was three rounds of interviews. The first was a verbal interview with STAR questions. The second was a fairly easy coding interview. I did not see the third stage.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview consisted of 3 rounds, with the final round being an on-site interview.
Started with a basic phone screen, why Garmin, about myself, etc. The interview was easy and lasted approximately 30 minutes.
The second interview was a Teams call with Coderpad. Spent the majority of the interview reviewing my resume, technical skills, and then answering technical questions related to the position (e.g., how would you describe paging in OS).
The final round consisted of 4 interviews over the course of 6 hours on-site at their facilities. These were similar interviews with multiple teams, but different Leetcode-style questions. Consisted of going over my background, resume, technical work, and then Coderpad.
The total time was approximately a month, from receiving the phone screen to the on-site interview. Took about a week after the final interview to hear back.
