I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Gardner, KS) in Sep 2017
Interview
Was contacted via LinkedIn by HR rep at the company for a Sr. Elec. Eng. role at the aircraft mod & cert hanger in Gardner (near HQ in Olathe) and set up time for a phone interview. During phone interview I discussed my history of related work. At on-site interview a couple of weeks later the role had been changed a "certification engineer" role. I wanted to relocate to the area so I accepted this change though I wasn't happy about it. Was told that I had specialized skills that were hard to find and they really wanted me for this new role.
I accepted the job offer though was told that, due to my lower number of years of applicable certification experience (which is not an accurate statement) I would get a lower grade level than the job they originally contacted me about. Again, I accepted this so that I could return to the area where the job was located. I felt like the people I dealt with during this process had some kind of personality defects. Under difference circumstances I would have left the on-site interview early due to being effectively lied to.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Mar 2019
Interview
Long. Multiple phone and on site interviews. Invasive. Looked into current and former coworkers. Unorganized. Met with two separate groups, and the interview questions/format was significantly different for both. Regardless, amazing company with amazing benefits.
