East Meets West +

East Meets West

In 1989, Dr. Min Kao and Gary Burrell founded Garmin on their shared vision of integrating global positioning system (GPS) technology into navigational devices for consumers. They successfully brought together their diverse backgrounds, represented by the open space that’s both Zen garden and Kansas prairie at the heart of our headquarters. With offices located around the world and more than 10,000 associates, diversity remains a top priority for Garmin.

I can honestly say this is the best place I’ve ever worked. I’ve loved all my jobs here. That’s why I’ve stayed for so long. The work is always challenging—but in a good way.

I'm an adult who gets to play with toys for my career. I never have to grow up.

I'm happiest being an engineer and working with the other engineers. There are really smart people here, and the problems we work on are very challenging.

Consumer Engineering

There's a significance to the product that I work on. It helps pilots fly safely. And it's complicated, so even when you continue to work on the same product, you still learn every day.

Everyone I work with has been with Garmin for a long time. It shows you how much people really like it - they don't leave.

John H.

Regional Sales Manager

I was at a good transition point in my career when I moved back to Kansas City and applied for the job at Garmin. If I could have written a job description for me, that would have been it.

The Basics and Beyond

Direct deposit isn’t anything to brag about. Garmin provides all the benefits that most companies of our size and stature supply, such as health, dental and vision insurance, long- and short-term disability, retirement plan, paid time off and so on. But some of our benefits go above and beyond, put in place to keep up with an evolving marketplace, support our innovation and encourage a healthy balance between work and life.

Full Healthcare Coverage

In surveys of health care benefits offered by comparable large technology companies, our plans consistently rank in the 90th percentile or higher. We offer a choice of three health insurance plans—with low or no premiums—plus dental and vision plans for you and your family. In addition, our associates have access to a health concierge service to help you find the best value in healthcare services.

Financial

Our retirement and savings plans rate 82% above the high-tech industry median. Our 401K retirement plan provides 5% of pay base contribution plus a match of 75 cents for every dollar you contribute to a maximum of 10% of your compensation. In addition, our employee stock purchase plan allows for shares to be bought at a 15% discount.

Wellness Program

For the Health of It!, our company-wide voluntary wellness program, aims at increasing awareness and improving Garmin associates’ knowledge of their personal health. The program’s mission is to inspire and empower individuals to take responsibility for their own health through balanced nutrition, regular physical activity and awareness and education. Our tobacco-free campus lets everyone breathe easy.

Pilot Certification

At Garmin, we want our associates to take flight — literally. We offer financial assistance for the costs associated with pilot certification and ground school. We also provide reimbursement for a portion of the hourly rental rate when using participating vendors and clubs.

Career Path

We know the importance of each waypoint on the way to completing a journey. As such, our associates are encouraged to develop their skills within the company. Professional development is supported by tuition reimbursement and training resources, up to $7,000 per associate each year, as well as internal recruitment efforts and a policy that prioritizes promoting from within the company.

Perks

In each of the communities in which we do business, Garmin has a strong philanthropic and civic presence. Our associates benefit from these connections in many ways, including through discounts on products and services, opportunities to attend sponsored events, such as free entry to races, and even help with work-life initiatives, such as adoption assistance.
