I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Cary, NC) in Apr 2020
Interview
First round was with recruiter, who got details about my skill set. Nothing technical.
Following that was an interview with the team lead and manager. It was mostly technical about my background. There was a programming challenge of moderate difficulty and some behavioral questions as well.
Unfortunately they closed the position after interview because of pandemic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given 8 balls, 7 of which are of same weight, how would you find the one of different weight in minim number of weighs.
I was applying to one of their Senior Software Engineer openings in the Boulder location. I had gone through a round of interviews. The questions were not bad, and the interviewers were pleasant. My main concern is that the HR/Recruitment is only opening this position for candidate lead farming! I had asked multiple times for an understanding on the my current status to be given radio silence.
1 month later, the job opening is reposted on linkedIn. With over hundreds of qualified candidates, you're telling me you can't find one qualified candidate. Don't waste multiple hours!!

Interview
I had an hour-long interview with a recruiter who came across as unprofessional and rude. The recruiter asked me to rate my skills on various topics, which took about 20-30 minutes. When she inquired about my expected salary, I asked for the salary range, which seemed to annoy her. Her demeanor changed, and she immediately lost interest.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Garmin (Kansas City, MO) in Jul 2022
Interview
I initially interviewed with the Technical Recruiter, but I was declined before being able to interview with the actual hiring manager or interview with the technical team members. I thought the interview with the recruiter went really well so I was actually shocked when I wasn't able to proceed with the interview process. My guess is that it had to do with my race, based on some of the questions I was asked.
