I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Jun 2018
Interview
Generic phone interview, then technical phone interview, then on-site interview. About 1 or 2 weeks passed between each interview.
The on-site interview was how I gathered the most information about Garmin. I interviewed with 2 fitness engineers who design the sports watches and bike computers, then I interviewed with Aviation engineers who design avionics. Then Garmin gave me a tour of their facility as well as lunch at their cafeteria.

Question 1
What is wrong with this schematic *hands me the schematics*
The phone screen was pretty chill. They asked a lot about my resume and past work/internship experiences. It was mostly very behavioral, only a few questions were asked about basic technical understanding.
